VPN Throughput Ratings

Anyone know any good websites that have information on throughput capabilities for different VPN routers through VPN tunnels.
I'd especially like information on VPN tunnel throughputs for Linksys RV042, but information on other routers would be great. I found one awhile back but its several years old now with old models. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks.

Throughput is limited by your connection speed and the speed of your router. If the router is 100 Mbps capable then it can provide that much bandwidth.....altho I wager your internect connection can't.

Sorry Curt, but my question pertained to VPN tunnel throughput or bandwidth, not basic WAN througput. Though the WAN port of a VPN router may 10 0r 100mbps, the VPN tunnel bandwidth is severly less. For instance, Linksys' cheap (relatively speaking)BEFVP41 only rates a VPN throughput of around 700kbps.
But those were only a few of the figures I was able to find, that why I asked if there were any informational websites that had more information.

I have been reviewing the RV082 and RV042 recently, with the 82 for HQ and 42's for branch offices in a VPN config.
I ran across a review on Tom's Hardware of the RV082 which showed throughput of atleast 20Mb/s, tested with a couple NetScreen devices. That's awsome in this price range. Haven't found anything specific on the 42, but with only one 82 in my WAN, the 42's can't swamp it, so I'm happy.
