The ASA, like the PIX does everything in software. More pps = higher CPU. This is true of all non-crypto functions of the ASA. Crypto is hardware accelerated. On Tue, Nov 2, 2010 at 1:42 PM, Dylan Ebner wrote: > IMHO, I don't think this is a marketing issue for cisco. It's a design issue. > PIX/

IMHO, I don't think this is a marketing issue for cisco. It's a design issue. PIX/ASA is good at some things, and bad at others. They have never been good as routers. You have to remember, EIGRP didn't even come to the security line until 8.0 code and they still do not support traffic shaping. T

probably going out on a limb here, but i suspect you'll never see BGP support in any of Cisco's firewall products. In routers which have FW bits included, yes, but not in an ASA product. perhaps the marketing thinking is 'if you can afford an asa 558x, you can afford one of our fine router
