Multi-processor solutions and performance

[Surya Batchu <suryak_batchu () yahoo com>]

Hi,

I was going through the mailing list and there was a
discussion about Multi-processor based solutions and
specifically discussing about Bivio hardware. As I
understand it has 6 processors with one network
processor. Network processor directs the sessions to
these application processors using some kind of hash
calcuated with source IP and destination IP of the
packet. 

Both NFR and Sourcefire confirmed that they have IPS
solution on this hardware.

Does anybody have performance numbers on these boxes?
Specifically, I am interested in 64bytes, 320bytes and
1518 bytes packet UDP throughput performance numbers
AND HTTP connection rate, throughput numbers.

Are there any functionality limitations observed in
these kinds of box solutions?

Thanks
Surya
