Just downloaded KnightStar datasheet from Cyberguard site and found some data appearing to be quite unrealistic. PERFORMANCE: Ordinarily, when you need "extra-strength" security, you have to settle for slow performance. Not so with Cyberguard KS. In demanding environments, you can depend on the KS for maximum throughput .. KS 1500 - 1.5Gbps performance Up to 1.2 million simultaneous connections Single processor appliance 512Mb Memory .. 426 bytes for proxy instanse handling the connection, assuming there is no OS at all ;-) A few questions: this data are obviously bogus. where can i get actual ones? how do cyberguard proxies handle connections: a single process handling all data of given protocol at time or traditional multiprocess or multithread model? I've seen some firewall comparisons on the net but those appeared rather stupid for me: they all used tools to compare packet filtering performance which is definitely an inadequate method for proxy systems. Is Cyberguard machine a generic Intel box? -- _ _ _ _ _ _ _ {::} {::} {::} CU in Hell _| o |_ | | _|| | / _||_| |_ |_ |_ (##) (##) (##) /Arkan#iD |_ o _||_| _||_| / _| | o |_||_||_| [||] [||] [||] Do i believe in Bible?
