Howdy, As for cisco's, I don't have any references per se, altho any cisco rep will be glad to tell you how fast cisco products are. ;) For Solaris (sparc), HP-UX, and NT (Intel) Checkpoint Software as done some testing with their Firewall-1 product. The results are at: http://www.checkpoint.com/products/technology/perf_data.html Also, FreeBSD, they've done their own testing, and the results are at: http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/FAQ166.html#166 Note that both of these tests were run on machines running firewalling software, so the results may be slightly less than just straight packet forwarding, but I don't imagine by much.
