    Hi Stone,

    I know you said Radware - but what the hell, TopLayer has just
    launched/about to launch it's 4500 IDS Balancer platform <we have 1st first
    customer ships for about 3 weeks, but think official launch is in January>,
    which has up to 8GB ports (4 x GB SX + 4 x configurable GBIC ports) and 8 x
    100MB ports. In practicality it will do about 3-4GB in (and out) - and is
    designed to sit out of band, taking connections from SPAN ports, taps etc.

    The IDS Balancer has been available has a 100- 1GB solution for a while, but
    this new high speed platform should set new standards for a 3GB+ out of
    band IDS solution

    I have just checked our site, and doesn't look whether we have posted the
    official info yet - so if you want some more info let me know - but lets
    call this an early Xmas present ;-)

    Simon

    Sup all.

    I'm checking out a Radware loadbalancer and was wondering if anyone else out
    there has any experience with or comments about it.

    Specifically, I'm looking into the "Out of Path" network design with which I
    want to take a Gig fiber input, and load balance to multiple FE sensors.

    Just wondering how this product is holding up for others.

    Thanks,

    scold
