Most of the interfaces on Alix boards I've seen are gigabit so that won't be a problem. Even so I've seen 100mbps interfaces deliver a sustained 12.5 MB/s before.
The real issue will be software router performance. The Alix boards I've seen can saturate 100mbps with NAT, iptables, etc but it does take a chunk of CPU. Depending on how stressed the system is performing other tasks it may have an adverse effect.
