David,
I have firewall throughput information at the url
http://netrai4.eng/firewall/firewall.results.new.html. The results were
measured on an Ultra 2/2170 with SunSwift network adaptors (100BaseT) at half
duplex. Notice that the cpu utilization for the workstations with the firewalls
installed did not come close to saturation.
Looking at the SPEC95 info at the url, http://perfwww.eng/tasks/results/spec95,
a ss20/71 is about half the cpu performance of a Ultra 2/2170.
Hope that this helps. Let me know..
Elizabeth
