Hello, I am a graduate student writing a paper on advantages and disadvantages of proxy based firewalls (eg. Raptor, SecureIT) vs statefull inspection based firewalls(eg. FW-1, PIX), and am trying to find more information on this topic. I looked at the Firewalls Buying Guide on ICSA, as well as vendor product descriptions pages, but (what a surprise!) every vendor claims that their method is better. Can anybody direct me to any resources that could assist me? -Igor Gashinsky PS If you work for the above mentioned companies, and would like to send me any technical data (not sales material <G>) on the products, I would really appreciate it.
