They need to run up to 1Gbps. ATT is installing a 1Gbps connection.
Realistically I don't think they'll use that all of the time, probably
in the 500-750Mbps range. No clue on average packet size.

You could use an ImageStream Rebel router for a WHOLE LOT less than
the Cisco:

I have a customer that needs a router capable of routing up to 1Gbps of
traffic - AT&T Ethernet handoff. Should only really need 1 WAN port and
1 LAN port. What's everyone else using? They have shunned the idea of a
RouterMaxx or PowerRouter. They prefer to stick with Cisco, Adtran, or
Foundry.
Cisco doesn't seem too cost effective; the only thing I've found that
will run that much traffic is a 7206 with a G2. Anything newer and we're
in the $20k-$40k range.
Should I be looking at Layer 3 switches? They shouldn't need any
firewall or filtering on this device.
