I got a hole bunch of alix systems running with tinc to create a wan.

I have no issues with the bandwidth throughput. I do not use the
crypto unit since the openssl lib does not (yet) work with the
hardware on debian gnu/linux.

I use the following settings on the alix systems:

Compression = 9
PMTU = 1400
PMTUDiscovery = yes
# Cipher = aes-128-cbc

I know for sure I can do 50Mbits up en down, and probably it can even
go higher but have not tested this yet.

Kind regards,

Jelle
