Henry, We are currently testing : * StorageTek http://www.network.com, Atlas firewall that works on OC-3 (ATM) and they are currently working on OC-12. * Netscreen http://www.netscreen.com, has a Netscreen 1000 that does GigEthernet. * Nokia (FW-1) is suppose to have a GigE interface that we are going to test. We have not finished completed testing, so I cannot give any information. Also, I do not know your full requirements (i.e., if you care about how management is done, what type of environment you are running, etc). You may be able to setup the network to have multiple paths on an ATM layer or Layer 2 so that you could use multiple firewalls to aggregate your required bandwidth. Hope this helps, Jim James L.

I mean firewalls that are right now available that could handle OC3 and higher speeds via Gig Byte Etherenet cards. In searching the recent posting of this list and a lot of general web searching, I have found only one firewall that claims they can do so. It is call POTUS from a company called Livermore Software Laboratories. I would very much like to find at lease another vendor which at lease matches the claim of PORTUS, 300 MB plus through put. Management, bless them, likes to have choices, I would like to present more then one vendor if possiable. I have experiences with two commercial firewalls, Checkpoint and Gauntlet, and one freeware firewall, Ipfilter. But the links where way under 10 Meg Byte. None of the firewalls I have work on 'claim' the speeds I am looking for. All the magazines 'test/reviews' I have looked at top out at about 150 Meg. Byte. The number of users for this project would not be large, but each one would be moving Gig Byte size files across the world. Thanks, Henry Baez hbaez () eos hitc com
