RE: Cisco IOS Firewall feature

Daniel,

The software running on the IOS Firewall Feature Set (FFS) is not the same
as the PIX, the pix runs in machine code, it does not run IOS. I would only
recommend the FFS if there is only to be a small number of clients behind
the Firewall, i.e. <20. I would look at using this solution for small
satellite offices where cost is an issue, otherwise use the PIX 506 as an
alternative small office Firewall.

Regards

Kelvin

Hi there,
looking for a good firewall solution and after reading some info of the
cisco PIX firewall,  I found out about Cisco IOS Firewall Feature Set.
I know is just a software solution, but the questions are:
 -how good is this software solution compare to a classic hardware one ?
 -how much delay generates in the router ? 
 -and  the last one, is the software running in the PIX the same one as the
Cisco IOS Firewall Feature Set?

Thanks a lot!

Daniel Howe.
