However they have given specification guidelines such as, 170 Mbps throughput 125,000 simultaneos connections I looked up the Cisco site & they have products to support this. Only thing to note was the micro-processor & Memory which varied from AMD 133 to Intel 1Ghz for their range of models. In order to match this what is the spec that I could go for in the Linux Server. Is their any sort of yard-stick or rule of thumb for this purpose ? Thanks in advance naleendra ------_=_NextPart_001_01C28573.52227B80 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <META HTTP-EQUIV=3D"Content-Type" CONTENT=3D"text/html; = charset=3Diso-8859-1"> <META NAME=3D"Generator" CONTENT=3D"MS Exchange Server version = 5.5.2653.12"> <TITLE>concurrent connections</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <BR> <BR> <P> <FONT SIZE=3D2 = FACE=3D"Arial">Hi List,</FONT> </P> <P> <FONT SIZE=3D2 = FACE=3D"Arial">I have a customer of mine who needs a firewalling = solution.
