Security Basics: Firewalls

["Mark Matrafajlo" <marcuu () gmail com>]

Hi,

I just started to look for an enterprise level firewall that has
gigabit throughput with application layer proxies.  I do not want to
go with either checkpoint(expense) or secure computing(sidewinder).

I would have went with CyberGuards(TSP), but god knows what the
lifespan will be before secure integrates it into G2.

Any insight to a decent FW that fits that description would be greatly
appreciated!

Thx,
Mark
