In argument to the statement 'Check Point is still here - Still king of firewall'...I have to disagree. I've seen a lot of products lately - and I'm not so sure CheckPoint's arrogance is going to hold up as the de-facto standard for much longer. Yes, at one point they were the best...but now? Have you SEEN CyberGuard, and (if they cleaned up their 'slow' issues)SideWinder, or some of the open-source stuff? I certainly agree boxes like the PIX will never hope to catch up with their neanderthall interfaces and horrendous speeds - but there is competition now...and it's gaining FAST.
Cheers all,

::
::
::Netscreen is quite simple firewall, it is more less Network
::device not a intelligent firewall.....
::If you need for the soho the mid-range firewalls are almost
::same in its performance.
::Netscreen's Perofmance should be examined in the real
::network, as it shows quite different performance.
::All of their products's performance are different from what
::they advertise.
::The Next Generation firewall is now on the way and it is
::built based on the network processor.
::Still SW based firewall works fine, ASIC Firewall is wee bit
::better in its performance ( But, A LOT OF LIMITS ), Network
::Processor Based Firewall show the true wire speed regard less
::packet size. Although Firewall -1 is old ,,,but its
::flexibility is quite well designed. (
::Incomparable)
::
::And recognition of Check point is still there ( Still King Of
::Firewall) ........
::
::please don't be confuse to with brand name of firewall.....
::wire speed is not what they says in the paper and in the labs.
