Using only jumbo frame, lot's of hardware will be able to fill the Gb/s bandwitdh... but Internet traffic is not composed of only large packets. I confirm for a "home usage", the PC Engines APU can manage up to 154Kpps (about 437Mbs/s of IMIX) in routing and 114Kpps (about 324Mb/s of IMIX) with ipfw. But... 154Kpps is far from the line-rate gigabit (1.48Mpps).
