A 5501 can handle the full bandwidth of 100M links. However whether a 5501 can handle your environment depends on how complex a ruleset you are planning on using for firewalling. Do you know which OS/firewall package you would like to use? Also, what do you have in place for a firewall right now? _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list Soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
