What does FW-1 one do when it cannot handle the bandwidth? Does it revert
to the installation option of IP Forwarding?
A) Control IP forwarding and drop overload
B) Do not control and forward the overloaded data
Has anyone seen what happens when you get to this point?
Cheers
Rob Purdy

Not on a single firewall module, That level of thoughput will require a
firewall farm surrounded by L4 switches. The last implentation I saw for
handling gigabit ethernet took IIRC 15-16 Solaris boxes.
