You can find even greater marketing values. For example the Cisco Firewall Services Module (a PIX, inserted into a 6k5 switch) offers up to 20 Gbps, but you may achieve even more than that with Juniper Networks T640 with the integrated IP filter.I believe the fastest appliance out there currently is the Cisco PIX535, coming in at a max of 1.7gb/s, but the other firewall appliances around are waaaaay behind that and are well sub-1gb/s.Nokia IP1260 w/FW-1 quotes 4.2Gbps NetScreen 5400 quotes 12Gbps
I guess it's not stateful, but has interesting features, from which the 770 Mpps forwarding rate sounds promising :)
And it runs BSD.
