The Nokia platform is FreeBSD, rather heavily customized I
believe.
I have experience with Checkpoint on Sun and Nokia and I
can tell you that I MUCH prefer Nokia. The platform is
designed to run Firewall-1. That's a far cry from Solaris.
The Nokia can backup configurations, run VRRP, has stateful
failover built-in, can do OSPF, BGP, etc. You can hot-swap
network modules too.
Nokia support is pretty good also.
Personally I think Nokia vs. Sun is hardly even a question!
