The problem with the perdition test is that both machines are on
the same wire. This means that your limit is the ethernet.
At the very least, you should put each machine on it's own net,
(give the perdition box two ethernets), or put them on a 100MB
net so that you (well, hopefully) run out of cpu speed before
you run out of combined bandwidth.
If Bandwidth bandwidth isn't a limiting factor,I would expect a
perdition box to be only slightly worse than an extra router hop.
(slightly worse, since the packets have to go through user space).
