RE: [FW1] How do fw-1 count internal host?

[Thomas.Poole@FW1-NOSPAMgecits.ge.com]

I understand your pains. It is based simply on how many hosts are protected,
and NOT how many are going through the
firewall. If you have 100 hosts, and only 25 need internet access,
Checkpoint requires you buy 100 user version. 
This link will help better explain why it all works.

Hi

The License what I have get from CheckPoint is Internet Gateway /25

But, I had a doubt.

Why does FW-1 know the number of the running internal host under itself?

With the expectation, I think it broadcast (to get arp).

However, there is no conclusive evidence and theory.

Please answer me If there is someone which is familiar wiht this doubt.
