Abstract:
Any current hardware should be good for at least 50 Mbit/s
Detail:
According to NetworkWorld 10/2001 the Pyramid Astaro firewall appliance
(Celeron 750, 128 MB RAM) makes ~70Mbit/s filtered, VPN ~ 20Mbit/s
(encrypted with 3DES).
In comparison I work(ed) for companies with some thousand clients who
use a mere 2Mbit/s uplink. Okay, granted, that uplink is saturated ad
ultimo...
