How much traffic can a modern intel board with a core 2 duo handle with $EL_GENERIC_UNIX_OS ?

The PCI-Express bus tops out at 2.5 Gbps I believe, and they (Vyatta router salespeople to be specific) say you should be able to reach that. At 850 Mbps, my Intel Core 2 Duo running Quagga/IPtables (with a decent number of firewall rules) on Gentoo only hits about 30% CPU usage. With that, it sound like you could hit the 2.5Gbps if you had the connection.

What pps are you seeing on that? Adrian
