What are the current options for firewalls that can handle 1gb throughput ? I've got a client that has a 1gb internet connection, (a major Univ), and they want to firewall it, but haven't because they haven't found anything that wouldn't impact the performance too much. I've seen firewalls that advertise ~622mbps, but none that claim anything higher, but perhaps I'm wrong. Or could you use a really hefty OpenBSD box with two gigabit fiber cards ?
