Hardware offload: you can scale vertically with JunOS platforms with the simple addition of more money, whereas an x86-style software-only system like pfSense will always hit bottlenecks much earlier on, no matter how much money you throw at it. IRQ Polling helps a bit, but not enough to scale into the 10GB range IMHO. Also, "commit confirmed" is a REALLY, REALLY nice feature. A similar concept could theoretically be implemented in pfSense, but that would probably be 3.0-timeframe at best based on my knowledge of how the webconfigurator works. (Many firewalls have similar stage/commit/rollback functions, there are multiple ways to gain equivalent functionality.) Other than that... I can't think of any 'killer' features that pfSense lacks. Depending on your environment, certification (e.g. ICSA) and tech support may be very important. You can get tech support for pfSense, but not with the resources of a JTAC behind it. Good luck certifying it - it's uncertifiable by design because of the shell access and the ability to add arbitrary packages. -Adam Thompson athom...@athompso.net _______________________________________________ List mailing list List@lists.pfsense.org http://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list
