Hi :
The performance figures from CP is only on
long FTP. Not sure how FW-1 will perform under short http transactions
or WAP transactions. Or just pure http with NAT as this is the most
probable data type from mobile terminals.
Appreciate any such reports with different types of
traffic loads. Most important thing to me is NAT
capability.
yt.

Yin To,
I have seen 50k connections with NAT involved. I believe CHKP is due to update this link in the near future.Just a hunch,

Investigating Internet access from Mobile networks a few years down the track.Or investigate other boxes with better NAT capabilities. Another other suggestions : Netscreen, layer 4 switches?Thanksyt--
