An article appeared on this list and in other forums indicating poor performance by Check Point's FireWall-1 product in response to SYN floods. Based on discussions with Thomas Greene and Ross Oliver, we have learned that FireWall-1 was not running on the machine at the time of the test. Because of this, the test and reported results have absolutely no validity. We are working with the authors to conduct a meaningful test against a properly configured firewall. Further details and clarification will be posted when available. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Scott.Register () us CheckPoint com || FireWall-1 Product Manager Check Point Software Technologies, Inc. 2255 Glades Road / Suite 324A \ Boca Raton, FL 33431 Voice: 561.989.5418 | Fax: 561.997.5421 | 08/30/01 18:21:29 ----------------------------------------------------------------
