Sure, http://www.sics.se/~adam/lwip/ has a BSD socket API.

According to the docs it's using Linux on a smartphone class ARM (AT91SAM9G20) with the ethernet MAC on-chip http://rascalmicro.com/docs/software-guts.html
The hardware should have no problem maxing out its own network connection. Whether the application software can keep up would be my question.
It's clearly going to perform much better than a nanode http://nanode.eu/ Which is being pitched as an HTTP enabled sensor node, still relying on Pachube or other cloud services.
But, the Rascal may have enough grunt to run its own services. I wonder how capable it would be of servicing many simultaneous connections? (running Twisted/Node/etc.) Perhaps RAM is the limiting factor?
