Don't disagree with anything said previously, but there is at least one of these cheap hardware routers that is somewhat more flexable and you can get your hands on the source. The Linksys WRT54G (yea I know it's not $50, it's $85 and it's has 4 hardware ports + wireless) is Linux based and there is a site that is supplying a custom Linux image with IPSEC an more for it. The source for all of it is available. I have no idea what the through put is, but it does have _some_ of the flexablilty of LEAF and you can see what's in there.
