FOR THE RECORD, this is MISINFORMATION! NSTL "reran" the tests upon
Raptor's request and they came out on top, hands down! If you check
out Raptor's homepage: http://www.raptor.com you will in fact see
the latest results.

Having installed and integrated, number's 1 and 3 of your short list
I can say that Raptor by far is a superior product. In fact, the test's
also showed the above "dropping packets" as more and more connections
were established. Raptor was one of the only products tested that did
not drop a single packet!

what they fail to publish are the REAL, CORRECTED results! Check with
Raptor and NSTL for current information and please do not mislead
anyone into thinking that Raptor was NOT the top performer, because
indeed it was...
