This is a special module that costs about $15k and is capable of handling
5Gbps traffic according to the cisco homepage. Honestly for $15k you can
get an OpenBSD system that can handle a similar amount of traffic.
Which of course (the FWSM) is not a complete solution.
Add at least another $35K for the rest of the system.
