I was eager to deploy it so I didn’t do any testing so all I can say is that 300Mbit works fine without any strain. I know Mbit is not a good measure of a router/firewall performance but this is what matters to me at home. Throughput: without heavy use (squid, snort, etc.) you should see 400-500 Mbit WAN->LAN (limited by the realtek NICs). PfSense home router using the PC Engines APU1D4 Netbenches/AMD_G-T40E_2Cores_RTL8111E/fastforwarding-pf-ipfw/results/fbsd11-routing.r287531 We have the un-branded SG-2440 box and we pushed about 600mbit of our 1000mbit link through it before it pegged the CPU… it went a bit over 600 a few times, but never maxed out our link. I’ve anecdotally heard the APU series is good for 500-600mbit/sec worth of NAT (at 100% CPU) and our own testing suggests it should be good for at least 30-40mbit/sec of VPN at AES128 (not using AES-GCM, projected based on CPU usage with our current WAN link).
