Andrew,
Georgia Tech has a paper with the answer to your question coming up in the
SAN-2 workshop (held jointly with HPCA 2003):
"Intel IXP1200-based Network Processor"
it has a lot of details on the limits of passing packets up and down
between an IXP1200 (the Radisys ENP-2505) and a PC it's put into.
