Hi Samit, I think you cannot use ServerIronXL for 100K session/sec L4 traffic. It only can hold about 19K session/sec L4 traffic. I suggest you to use ServerIron 350. I found following MSRP on the Internet.
SI350 U$33K J-B4Gx US$7.7K J-B16GC US$6.05K Best regards, > From: Samit <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: [email protected] > Date: Mon, 17 Nov 2008 20:37:37 +0545 > Subject: [f-nsp] Looking to replace Alteon 180e with ServerIron > Hi, > > I am using Alteon 180e as a L2 switch for my web traffic redirection to > squid cache since last 7 years, without any problem.
