Thanks for replying.
Nothing has been purchased, there was just a pro 330 not really being
used and a possible solution. I am not going to flood with all the
details involved in this project but there are two fairly indentically
priced solutions. One uses the firewall with the Cisco 2611-XM router
and the other uses Sonicwall 4060 as the firewall. I am wanting to get
opinions on how the Cisco 2611-XM firewall compares (mostly performance
related) to the Sonicwall 4060.

I know the sonicwall handles around 500,000 concurrent connections, can
push 300mbit and is stateful. Surely the cisco is stateful, not sure
about concurrent connections.

Thanks

Thanks again
