You know, I've no idea. Taking a wild guess I'd say PCI-E. The SSG520/550, for instance, are P4/E7225 systems with two Marvell PCI-E dual GbE chips. Performance-wise, Juniper is pretty straightforward in their data sheets. You'll have to factor in any additional processing you'll be doing on the unit, but for a basic config they're on the money (for the Netscreen and new J series in particular -- old Jx300 data sheets quoted performance based on a maximum configuration).

ScreenOS has limitations from a "routing platform" standpoint, e.g. 10000 route limit, no MPLS, MBGP, OSPFv3 (yet) or IS-IS. But for appropriate installations it's quicker and easier to set up routing, firewall, and VPNs than it would be using JUNOS. And what Bill said. Peter E.
