Hi, Cisco does not do it well any more.
Cisco has never provided wire rate interfaces, not even on their high end service provider gear. It's very common for example for Cisco gigabit interfaces to only forward at 200 - 300 megabits sustained assuming normal packet sizes. Linksys is no exception on the consumer side. I have no dog in this race, I don't make money if you go one way or another but I do have 20 years of experience and I'll tell you what works and what doesn't. In my last gig I worked for a time on CPE evaluation and tested all these devices in real world settings as well as the lab. Linksys just doesn't get it done, doesn't have the stability and definitely doesn't forward for sh*t. Older linksys gear can be reflashed with much better firmware but for the purposes of this discussion the out of box Cisco provided code sucks the big one.
