Daniel, I don't now about the specifics of the hardware inside the Nokia's, but we bought IP650 and replaced SUN E250's. We saw 3 times the packets being processed on the Nokia's running the SAME rule set. I would say that the slimlined, BSB kernal is well tuned to inspect and forward packets. This was out of the box and I believe with a bit of policy tuning I can see a 4x multiplier on the Nokias. -Kyle InfoSec MSDW Online -----Original Message----- From: Wang, Daniel [mailto:daniel_wang () tds com] Sent: Tuesday, January 25, 2000 9:41 AM To: firewall-wizards () nfr net; donwang () angstrommicro com Subject: RE: Nokia/Checkpoint firewall I didn't work with it myself much, but when we tried them here the power supplies failed at an alarming rate. We had two replaced under warranty in the just the short time we were using it. I don't know about performance under high load, but FYI the hardware is a standard ATX PC motherboard with a P2-300 processor, and the OS is a modified version of FreeBSD. You could expect about the same performance as the equivalent PC. -----Original Message----- From: don Wang [mailto:donwang () uac com] Sent: Wednesday, January 19, 2000 12:50 PM To: firewall-wizards () nfr net; donwang () angstrommicro com Subject: Nokia/Checkpoint firewall Hi, Does anyone have any comments about the Nokia firewall solution which uses Checkpoint? I have looked at the Nokia web site and want to hear any field stories that are available. Thanks, Don
