completely wild-assed guess:
when the LVS-NAT director was using the masquerading code
(2.0.x and 2.2.x kernels) a 75MHz director could do 50Mbps
of LVS-NAT (ie about half saturating 100Mbps ethernet) -
admittedly the director had a high load average (see my
performance page). Scaling this up to modern hardware
(1.5GHz director) using the old kernels, should give you
1Gbps of LVS-NAT at high load average. Now changing to the
netfilter code (2.4.x and 2.6.x kernels), you should be able
to get 1Gbps of LVS-NAT with a low load average. Is that
enough?
