Very difficult to tell, it depends on many things (for instance, on
the typical size of the packets). At Gitoyen, I have no problem with
several FastEthernet (100 Mb/s) links on a typical PC but many small
packets (a root DNS name server) could be more difficult to process
than a few big ones (Web hosting) because interrupts are too slow on a
PC.

Zebra does not forward at all so it is irrelevant. The kernel
(probably Linux in your case) does the forwarding so the limiting
factors are the kernel and the hardware.
