Perhaps we could start a wiki page or something that has some more in
depth detail on the various routers/firewalls we all have.
Is there any standardized open source packages out there for testing the
various performance metrics of routers/firewalls? Something that would
measure everything from packets per second, to packet fragmentation and
max state tables?
I know of many individual tools but nothing in a single suite for testing.

Hi John,
One small concern about that little Linksys box is the limited number of
sessions it can handle. I used to put Linux firmware into WRT54G and it
just worked fine until thounsands of concurrent sessions happened. It
just became irresponsive and I had to reboot it. I tried fine tune the
kernel parameters but could not get it fixed. Then I turned to general
Intel platform with obviously more memory and this did the trick.
As pointed out before, there are different "versions" and some have more
cpu speed, ram, flash and usb ports then others.
