Just as a follow-up.  For those who still own the hardware, but don't actively use it as a router, I got bored enough to sit down and turn one of my Itus boxes into a L2 managed Switch.  In theory, you could setup VLANs, but I didn't bother.

Eth0/Eth1/Eth2 are all bridged

With Suricata 6.0.4 running on the device.  Not the fastest I've gotten on the box, but it is will Suricata looking at everything that comes through against whatever the public Rule-sets available are.  I should also mention that my device I'm running this Speedtest from goes thru 4 routers/switches just to get outside my LAN, so I'm sure I could get more performance if I cut some of that out.  So, if you have a Shield and don't need a router, but might be able to use a VLAN-Aware switch, well, there's hope yet!
