In my case it is few hundreds. I am not sure it is typical case, but i 
really will like if this setup
will give me good performance. Since Linux usually used on the PC's, i 
don't think they will scale more
than 2-3 Gbps. Also L2TP pseudowire (l2tp_eth) usually done not 
directly to end-users, but to LAC's, so i think
it is up to thousand.

Right now i am routing around 700Mbps over there, and noticed some 
problem with pskb_expand_head,
but that's separate question i will ask, if i will not be able to sort 
it out by myself.
