Hi all!

I wonder if somebody did real testing of FreeBSD box with, let's say, two 
Ethernets and one 2M serial card (or some other hw with equivalent 
bandwidth), which would act as a router, using e.g. Gated. How well it 
behaves under heavy traffic? How many packets get dropped/ignored/else?
How much memory it requires? How much swap? What is *real* throughput of 
such a beast? etc...

If somebody did it, I would be most interested in results  :-)
TIA

Andy,
