Nokia has a new carrier class firewall for Firewall-1 (I think it is an
IP740) that is rated at 1.6gps. Of course, I have never tested it so I
have no idea how it really performs...

Subject: Firewall on 1gb connection
What are the current options for firewalls that can handle 1gb throughput
?
I've got a client that has a 1gb internet connection, (a major Univ), and
they want to firewall it, but haven't because they haven't found anything
that wouldn't impact the performance too much. I've seen firewalls that
advertise ~622mbps, but none that claim anything higher, but perhaps I'm
wrong. Or could you use a really hefty OpenBSD box with two gigabit fiber
cards ?
