Could someone please help me find
performance statistics comparing a Nokia 330 and a Sun Netra 105. Both
systems would be running v4.1 with strong encryption. The implementation
being investigated would provide simple VPN connectivity between two
sites.
There seems to be little out there in the way of
performance stats for Firewall-1 or guides on sizing either with or
without VPN encryption. One company I have worked with put their web
servers (5000 hits a month - not many concurrent -no encryption) behind
Firewall-1 on Sun 220R servers. Another I have seen was running on an ageing HP
D-class server more hits but very little trouble.
Obviously VPN is much more CPU intensive than normal
Firewalling. Would anyone who has carried out a performance sizing study care to
share their results? Sizing at the moment really seems to be a finger in the air
guess at the moment.

P.S. I have set (hopefully - if outlook works) the
reply to address not to accept incoming emails to stop the flood of OO replies.
Please post any response back to the list or direct to the from
address.
