As you say, a C2D should easily be able to keep up, and at these modest rates I can even discount PCI bandwidth as a concern.  So I might need to try to reproduce it here.

Not a problem. I’ll run a spread of Cake and fq_codel over Ethernet at various bandwidths. It will be through their Apple USB Ethernet adapters (used now for management), which are also connected through a switch, but I think that setup should be fine for this purpose. Should be done in a hour or so and we’ll see…
