[c-nsp] Juniper Netscreen SSG 140 versus Cisco ASA 5510 series

[Jeremy Stinson]

Zahid,

Netscreen FWs are great compared to the pix/asa lines. Don't know if this is 
an issue but the SSG140 only support 2048 BGP routes. If you need more then 
you should definantly take a look at using a front end router. Else, this is 
a great device.

Good luck,

Jeremy
