[LUAU] Cheap linux router

[Myles Uyema]

The Linksys routers are targeted toward broadband cable/dsl users.  I've
heard the WRT54G can route a maximum 50Mbps between networks before
reaching peak CPU utilization.  I haven't tested it myself though.

Has anyone done any bandwidth testing on these routers?  I would like to know
how many Mbps these can push through them with an empty ruleset.

I have been using a Soekris(http://www.soekris.com) box for my main router.
Not very cheap ($200), but versatile, cool, and quiet.  Most people have been
able to push 17 Mbps through the net4501.  Of course, it's processor is only
an AMD 486.

Always open to new ideas though for small,cool, and quiet routers.  I am
especially looking for one to substain 100Mbps throughput.
