Cisco PIX Firewall 515-R

Cisco PIX Firewall 515-R ... performance. The series allows you to rigorously protect your internal network from the outside world - providing full firewall security protection. Unlike typical CPU-intensive full-time proxy servers that perform extensive processing on each data packet at the application level, Cisco Secure PIX Firewalls use a non-UNIX, secure, real-time, embedded system. The Cisco Secure PIX Firewalls deliver superior performance of up to 250, 000 simultaneous connections, over 6, 500 connections per second, and nearly 170 megabits per second (Mbps) throughput. This level of performance is dramatically greater than that delivered by other appliance-like firewalls or those based on general-purpose operating systems.
