[c-nsp] Sizing routers for multicast traffic

I've sent off some emails to my Cisco SEs with a sizing question, but
it being christmas and them being lazy, I thought I'd bounce this off
here aswell..

I'm in the market for a CPE router that can push ~40Mb/s of multicast,
can do NATting (albeit at a much lower rate, around 1-500kb/s) and
BGP.

Does anyone have any idea what sort of spec I'm looking at to
comfortably carry that sort of traffic? I don't know if it makes any
difference, but the multicast will almost certainly only have a single
fanout (and be unidirectional).

Thanks,
Ras
