"Easy" is a relative term. 1000 req/s may be easy, but 106 req/s, on the other hand, are not. The nature of the request is also important at volume -- 1000 req/s for querying a customer name, for a financial transaction, for searching the web and for displaying the most relevant updates in a social network are radically different.
