My Connectra test box is a 366 MHz 256 MB box. It takes about five minutes to boot up and about ten to fifteen minutes to push the policy using the built-in GUI. It runs SPLAT as well, but supposedly a different version than FW-1.

Gees, we do have some lame test systems, don't we?

I run standalone SPLAT NGx R60 with HFA-04 on a dell P-II 450Mhz with 256MB
RAM and it took about 2 minutes to push policy and my VPN tunnels did NOT go down.

Could it be that Linux is much more nimble than Nokia IPSO? Seem that way.

it takes like 10-20sec to push the policy, comparing to r55 which took a
lot less. usually, i expect it to take less, since ngx is an improvement
over r55.

also, free mem should be: 498-(183+50).
