[nsp] Network Firewall

Hi all,

I am currently looking for a firewall to install in
our corporate network. Our network mainly runs on
Cisco hardware which made me consider using Cisco
firewalls as well. We use public IPs hence no NAT is
required.

Does anyone have any experience to share on the Cisco
PIX firewalls? Or any other firewalls to recommend?

I noticed that compared to other vendors, Cisco PIX
seems to lack in the area of SYN/UDP DDoS flood
protection? The closest which I read from it's manual
for 6.3 is the usage of some paraments in the "static"
command to indirectly manage flooding, but static is
used in NAT mode.

TIA!
