I have that router, and it can do up to about 2.5Gb/s with actual routing. I have it on a 10GBe direct connect to my "main" 4 port switch, but that just means it can take in multiple unrouted LAN segments.

Once you start doing much esoteric the speed slows down, if you get off the fast path it can be pretty intense (thought they do sell bigger ones that can route more packets).

I like that Mikrotik are very transparent about it. On their site they publish performance test results in various configurations.
Agreed, it's nice to have the number right there and they don't make claims beyond what it actually can do (and arguably, when you're up at 10GB+ your router and your switch shouldn't be the same hardware anymore).
