Yes a 515e is very capable of handling filtering and Nat and Some!! Here
it is used for Filtering, NAT, DMZ, ACL's, 4 VLANs, VPN and more for a

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
