From: Mike Ni Subject: Firewall's performance Date: Thu, 31 Oct 2002 21:05:14 -0800 (PST) Sender: linux-newbie-owner@vger.kernel.org Message-ID: <20021101050514.47069.qmail@web40404.mail.yahoo.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Return-path: List-Id: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-newbie@vger.kernel.org folks, I am looking for information that can help me better understand firewall's performance. Could anyone point me out any good web site or mailing list where I can get such information? We are working on a project * it is becoming obvious we need to watch out the network security. In short, the question we are working on are: (1) Whether there is a need to allocate a dedicated firewall to protect the website rather than the entire enterprise network due to performance concern. Is it common to see a firewall get overrun by the Internet traffic? Thanks in advance Mike __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
