Consider, for example, OC-48 (2.4-Gbit/s) links which are common today in large carrier networks or OC-192 (10-Gbit/s) links that are beginning to appear. Given current firewall speed limits of ~100 Mbit/s or less in each direction, we're not talking about 10:1 parallelism -- indeed 1000:1 may
be
more like it. This *might* work from a traffic engineering standpoint, but there's no way any self-respecting ops guy (or gal) will sign off on a network design that adds 999 more interfaces to manage. And guess what --
Forgive me for perhaps seeming abit daft, but since when do carriers need to plug their backbones into firewalls?
