Thank you for the answer. The results that @TonyGiorgio posted have 10 times less tps and seems it was tested between two direct peers. I supose that in routed payments it has to be even less, no?

yep. I'd say the ~500 number is an upper bound. In practice, it'll be an order of magnitude lower because of liquidity requirements, network latency (especially over tor), intermittent failures because of all the crappy hardware in the network, etc.
