Valid questions :) It's on a 100/100 Mbps connection and all traffic is
NAT'ed via PF. 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.
