Hi all, Could Someone please tell me the advantages of PF against Firewalls using the ASIC technology in terms of Security and perfomance??
I happened to hear the following "Netscreen is running in ASIC (they are boasting in their marketing) - and thus probably only is checking the first (or first few) packages and then handing all traffic control off to dumb packet shoveling hardware. So probably no checks "later" in the protocol. Similar problem with CheckPoint's "fastpath" option, btw." Thankyou so much kind regards Siju
