IOS FW vs. PIX or other

Subject: IOS FW vs. PIX or other
Date: Thu, 23 Sep 2004 16:52:38 -0500
In a nutshell, what is the difference between using the Cisco IOS firewall
feature set and a "full blown" FW such as a PIX or other?  Obviously a
full FW may allow higher traffic volume, what are some main things I am
missing?

I have run some Nessus & Nmap scans against a 2611 with FW IDS
for a client of mine and it shows much less than any other device I have
ever scanned - I thought I was missing something until I found out about
the IOS FW that is running.

Thanks
