Hi,
I have just inherited a PIX 515e and am wondering if it is capable (from a performance perspective) of acting as our main firewall.
We are a small university with approximately 2500 users. Our incoming/outgoing bandwidth is 32Mb/s and can run any where from 4% to 90% utilization with a rough average of about 62% (20Mb/s).
Does anyone know from personal experience if the PIX 515e can reliably handle this magnitude of usage doing both filtering and NAT?
Thx,
Jason CISO Norwich University
