5- via chipset. Ok, not super, but workable. With similar hardware
(intel pro 100 nic cards) I used to get a typical 8-10MBps through a
cheapo store and forward switch (similar broadcom chipset to the SMC).
this wasn't pfsense, just general traffic on a repeated basis to/from an
nfs server through a small broadcom chipset switch (most commodity
switches these days have same/similar broadcom chipset in them, despite
whatever brand they might be). Both client/server were running linux
with little other network traffic present.
