[QUOTE="MacDefender, post: 916880, member: 83059"] "IPS" is just IPS but NGFW is IPS + web filtering and "threat protection" is all of that plus AV scanning and SSL decrypting/reencrypting. Note that because Fortinet uses special ASICs for offloading, all of those things use separate hardware. Like just because you are pushing 1gbps through IPS, you can still push 6gbps through IPSec because the AES engine is separate from the IPS engine. The numbers are a little hard to believe but yeah I am comfortably using a FG-61F to do symmetric gigabit upload and download. I've only had one or two workloads where the device couldn't offload and limited my throughput at 800mbps. [/QUOTE]
