So you're using a bandwidth of about 5mbit/sec per interface. A 16bit
ISA card could nearly handle that, but I guess you've installed
100mbit PCI devices, so that shouldn't be a problem.

Your computer can not only handle the load, it's basically fallen
asleep because there's no work to do :-)

Since the CPEs don't use their full bandwidth (in which case a 100mbit
interface wouldn't be enough), this box can easily handle the current
network load.
