You can do some rudimentary filtering on Cisco routers.  Things like MAC
address,
service type, IPX vs. SPX, things like that.  You can see some examples here:

Throughput is generally reasonable, loggin is OK, though it's low-level stuff.
I'm not aware of any way to do authentication for IPX on a Cisco.
