Very well possible, and you don't need great hardware for this, if you
don't have a rather complex classification scenario.

Just for the record, in the middle of some network performance test for
some sort of appliance I capped outgoing speed to 25 Mbps on my PIII 600
MHz with a 3Com 100 Mbps card, and the box barely spends 1-2 % of CPU
transmitting at "full" speed (full = 25 Mbps).

Hope it helps.
