The software includes tshark which can be used like wireshark to view the
packets, but for performance tests you'd want something outside of the
router like a spirent or ixia.  There's a performance whitepaper that
might be useful: http://www.vyatta.com/documentation/whitepapers.php

Although this is a bit dated, there are some performance tests run by users of 
the system on the community wiki as well:

I think that the Tolly test that Stig refers to may be the most thorough test.

Take care,

Allan
