Internal dedicated lan, various size tcp packets,
53 mbps with intel cards, 45mbps with SMC8139,
dropped to around 12mbps with ipsec.
This was using a 500Mhz Athlon, presumably the ipsec handling
would be proportionate to processor speed.
My guess is that without ipsec you would see that 40-50 mbps even
with a 100 MHZ processor.
Conclusion: T1 okay, T3 probably not.

Yes, almost any LEAF system should easily be able to keep up with 3
MBits/s...even with old klunky ISA NIC's.
Anyone done any speed testing with LEAF boxes and care to share the results?
I'm not talking about download speed tests from DSLReports...I mean hitting
the box with a network traffic generator & recording packet/second &
throughput at various packet sizes...

I guess it depends on what you call "reasonably priced", and how much work
you want to do yourself. Generally, the cheapest way to get into rack-mount
equipment is to assemble systems yourself out of standard computer parts and
a rack-mount case. Note that rack-mount pricing is a bit like that for
mobile electronics: ie "smaller is more expensive". You can find good 4U
cases for $150-$200. 2U cases are more like $250-$300, and 1U cases are
$400-500 & up.
I like using the 2U cases...they're a lot smaller than the 4U cases, but
still have enough room for a standard ATX power-supply, generic 1/2 height
CD-ROM & 3.5 floppy, and standard CPU heat-sinks & DIMM's. 1U cases
typically have custom power supplies (just hope it never dies), require
mother-boards with angled DIMM sockets (or really low-profile DIMMS),
low-profile CPU heat-sinks, and notebook style CD-ROM and floppy drives.
