Ø 1Gb/s stateful-inspection NAT firewall Ø 1Gb/s 3DES VPN[snip] You'll forgive me for being sceptical, but that's a _lot_ of 3DES throughput.
For comparison: according to the Checkpoint, the raw packet throughput of its own Firewall-1 does not exceed 250 MBit/s (http://www.checkpoint.com/products/firewall-1/pbrief.html). 3DES throughput even with hardware 3DES accelerator (http://www.checkpoint.com/products/vpn1/vpn1perfdata.html) does not exceed 60 MBit/s. A difference by factor 4 with raw throughput is believable - but for factor 20 against hardware accelerated VPN I'd like to be doubtful, too.
