Not really a firewall function. A tunneling appliance. Rock solid, low latency, high capacity.

Very very stable. I have it on vms dell hardware or applience hardware rock solid for years. If you want something more name brand but expensive i still use cisco asas all the time but price for performance can be a lot. My friend is an engineer for F5 and they might have a solution that would work great but might get pricey. Craig Schmaderer Cell 402-380-1245 Skywave Wireless, Inc.

At the far end, another box reverses the situation. Years ago I used Cisco PIX for this type of thing. Looking over pre-baked solutions I see lots of specs about number of users, or tunnels or sessions. I care about one single VLAN type of pipe, being wrapped up and unwrapped. Only. But performance has to be flawless. Robust. Plenty of CPU & Memory overhead. Recommendations?
