Look at the bottom of this page in regards to performance..... 

https://routerboard.com/RB1100AHx2 

Look at the last entry... for expected performance... don't look at the best 
numbers, but rather look at the worst numbers.... 

And you will quickly recognize that rb1100ahx2 as a multi-function router is 
only good for 100-200meg of traffic... 

------------------------------- 
Now I will also backup above with the following:- 

Many moons ago, when we turned up our first peering port connection (1G) we 
used a RB1100AHx2 router, and very quickly learned that we were running into a 
hardware bottleneck around 150m to 200meg of traffic 

We replaced it with a PowerRouter 732..... and we were able to pass a full 1G 
of traffic all day long without any issues... 

------------------------------- 

I am not making a case for the PowerRouter ...... I am confirming that the 
RB1100AHx2 is under-powered for the job.... 

Best of Luck.
