Yes, see the list archives.

The limit is in the PCI bus. If you are pushing the limit of the LVS PCI bus
then it won't help to use LVS.
Anyway, I have not gotten more than 100kpps unless using NAPI. Some people
report getting up to 1.2mpps (!) a few years ago with intel gigabits, 64-bit
66mhz individual cards & buses. These figures are with 64 byte packets.
There was a post on quagga archive recently about this, check there for more
details.

I'm sure if you run iptables on a router it will drop your numbers, probably
by a lot.
