Reason #1-The PIX is a dedicated firewall device. It was specifically
designed to be a firewall. The ASA algorithm blocks traffic from a lower
security interface(outside) to a higher security interface(inside).
Reason #2-It's easier to configure than a router with special IOS
PIX-Packet Internet Xchange: Cisco acquired this company a few years back.

Objet : The Scoop on PIX? [7:26607]
Hi all.
What are some of the reasons why a person would choose a PIX solution
rather than a good router with the the right IOS for security?
From what I've read on Cisco's site, there does not seem to be the huge
gap between using a router as a firewall solution vs. using a PIX, as some
people make it sound.
One last thing...for the life of me, I can't find what "PIX" stands for!
Any help appreciated! Thanks in advance.
