Gene, I've used the PcEngines Alix2d3 board with Freebsd for a similiarly sized office and had good success with it. We had a 30mbit pipe, 30 users, VoIP/QoS and IPSec to our 3 data centers. Doing IPSec around 15mbit will put some load on the CPU but it was able to handle it pretty well. I dont have exact PPS for you, but it should be able to do 30mbit/sec easily.

If so what kind of performance are you seeing (throughput, PPS, etc)? I'm considering this system for a 30-40 user environment. It will handle web, ssh, voip, and other basic traffic. QoS will be needed. Thanks. -Gene
