Intel vs. special purpose FW-1 servers

["Emily Conrad" <emilydconrad () hotmail com>]

Hello,

We are working on a project to upgrade our firewall infrastructure.

One of the questions is whether to use FW-1 on a standard Intel server or to 
use a special-purpose optimized version of FW-1 on a dedicated hardware 
platform such as Nokia firewall appliance or Crossbeam systems C30/X40.

Does anyone have any advice on what factors are important when making such a 
decision?


Thanks,

Emily
