I've seen an NPE-G1 configured with just IP addresses and 2 
BGP peers (2 prefixes in each, none out), no ACL's, no 
VPN's, no QoS - basically, real vanilla.

It was forwarding ~920Mbps in total (I know, weird, huh) 
broken down as 3x interfaces each doing a little over 
300Mbps.

As a real serving edge node, I haven't been able to get more 
than 500Mbps total out of it.

Cheers,

Mark.
