[c-nsp] help with the correct choice of a cisco router

[Josh Farrelly]

>From what you've mentioned there'd likely be no reason you couldn't use an ASA5510 for the requirements you've laid out below.

We have 2x ASA5510's in an active/passive cluster at a customer site. It's connected to a 100/100Mbps link and it quite happily handles several thousand connections and throughputs at full rates in either direction.

We've had no issues with them, apart from a PSU failure and a few configuration issues with WCCP. They've been in service for the better part of 2 years now.

I guess it comes down to what you're most comfortable with at the end of the day.

Regards,

Josh.

Yuhm, i've not think about a firewall for sure... do you speak about some ASA machine? Do you have some suggestions?
