Simple Answer. Cost. The SRX650 can handle about as much traffic as an M7i, at less half the price.
There's no equivalent J-series at that level. (J6350 would top out at 2Gbps). Likewise, J-series runs virtually the same code now as the SRX series (in terms of "security"), Which begs an answer to the question: "Why not just buy a router?" Answer: What router? There's only security devices below the M7. - CK. P.S. there was a huge previous discussion regarding J-series only-flow-based earlier, which I'm sure you remember. =) On 2010-10-23, at 12:46 AM, Chris Evans wrote: > My question is what is the purpose of using a security device for pure > routing purposes???
