[nsp] PIX ASA v. ACL

[Mourad BERKANE]

>> The PIX is actually software, not hardware.

What will happen in case of overload traffic on a PIX?

We know what will happen in case of using ACLs on a cisco router: increase
of CPU, reboot, ...

Is there a secure mechanism implemented on a PIX (or in a FW in general) who
could control the traffic load and guarantee a service minimum of filtering?

I never test it then it will be nice to get some experiences on this issue.
