Re: [FW1] Latency through the fw

[Yim Lee <yimwlee@FW1-NOSPAMyahoo.com>]

Thanks for your suggestion.  I did try it in a lab.  I
had a box inside the firewall and a box outside the
firewall.  I was pinked the boxes from inside the
firewall.  I saw a difference of about 4 ms.  In my
test, I only had a Sparc 5 as the firewall.  I was
wondering if any one had any other numbers.
