You really should look at upgrading that to some more recent and less
End-of-X. 12.4 XW also has know vulnerabilities only fixed in later
releases.

Actually, the 3800 is positioned for T3/E3 speeds... I consider it
quite impressive that you're pushing up to 400 Mbps though them with
some features.

The spec sheet is best case numbers with no features. *Any* feature
that you turn on will negatively affect performance, and the actual
performance hit for each feature will also vary with traffic patterns.
