[c-nsp] FWSM vs. stand alone FW

[Voll, Scott]

I think it comes down to through put.  If you need the through put go
with FWSM.  As I understand it, a pix 525 can only do 400mb though a gig
port.

Anyone have constructive comparisons between a FWSM in a 6509 vs using 
an external firewall - PIX or Netscreen ?  I'll mostly be hit with 
simultaneous connection limits before I hit bandwidth issues but 
certainly something that can do well in excess of 200Mbps.

thanks.
