Well I think we typically run around 15 to 18W on a fully equiped router
(that is 4 ethernet ports and 8 T1/E1 ports).  I suppose it could
somehow be made to run from PoE, but generally people are more
interested in PoE for wireless AP and switches, with the router being
the source of the PoE power instead.
