This is impressive. I wonder what is in there under the hood in McAfee box. Copied from the test report: "The device ably supported over 11Gbps of traffic with the larger HTTP response sizes (21KB) and lower connections per second (5,000 CPS per Gigabit of traffic) found on typical corporate networks". It appears to be some calcualtion mistake! It comes to around 820-830Mbps (21Kbytes * 5000 ), not 11Gbps throughput! I am surprised to see only McAfee, but not sourcefire and tipping point in 10Gbps category. Do they feel NSS certification is not important?
