I work on Cisco ASA, Juniper ScreenOS & Junos commercial firewalls. Linux iptables on various systems. All because that is what they pay me to support.
However when I need to setup something in the Lab that works I use OpenBSD pf, which it does quite well. I've tried, without success to get co-workers working on custom hardware to look at PF, but they go down the iptables route. Their loss, not mine. g.day diana Past hissy-fits are not a predictor of future hissy-fits. Nick Holland(06 Dec 2005) On Fri, 15 Feb 2013, Fil DiNoto wrote:
Well in this case JunOS, IOS, and Brocade would be what people know and are accustomed to, because these are common brands. But I was speaking of my experiences in working at an ISP and using vendors that most people haven't heard of. Alcatel, Atrica to name a couple, multi-service customer premise stuff or vpn. It's easy to hire people who know juniper/cisco/brocade. It takes the new guys a few months to get used to the telco specific stuff.
