My question would be whether the PM3 can pass 3 full T1's worth of
traffic, handle some filtering (anti-spoofing would be mandatory), talk
BGP, and survive a mild (<T1 worth) smurf attack without falling over.
My guess would be no. I know the smurf attack alone is enough to kill
the PM3 from past experience.
If this is a border router, I'd recommend looking into something like
a Cisco 2601 or even a 3620. For an internal router though (that handles
only customer traffic) the PM3 is probably OK.
