Peak traffic will be about ~150 Mbps combined. Part of this is an Rsync connection over ssh hammering the upload towards the main server on 1000/1000 Gbps. Downloading a file at 100 Mbps uses ~10% cpu. So definitely not bad for such a low power device. I am not yet full dual stack, I only just got a /64 on my main server (last week), this is a smaller server at a different ISP, after I got it on my main server I realized I have had dual stack for months on the smaller one as well :p I've tested it a bit so far and got it working, only still need to assign ipv6 address to jails / update dns.
