Here's a summary of answers I received, thanks to all: * Netscreen www.netscreen.com Wide variety of products from low end 10Mbps boxes to high end 1000Mbps boxes. Generally also firewalls, have VPN client support, and other features. From a site-to-site VPN perspective the low end is priced reasonably, where as the high end gets a bit expensive due to kitchen sink functionality. * Cisco PIX www.cisco.com Good variety of products from 50Mbps to 1000Mbps. Also firewalls and in some cases IDS like boxes. A bit high in price across the board for site-to-site VPN's, mainly due to kitchen sink functionality. * CipherOptics www.cipheroptics.com Dedicated full duplex gige IPSec box, with very minimal firewall filters. Very good price for a site-to-site VPN and no other junk to get in the way. A good contender for high speed IPSec. * Cisco Accelerator Cards www.cisco.com There are two varieties, the VAM for a 7200, and the VPNSM for a Cat6509. Pricing is good for a site-to-site VPN if you already have the chassis for other reasons and have free slots. If you have to include the chassis and interfaces in the cost they are both a pretty expensive solution. * Juniper Accelerator Cards www.juniper.com There are IPSec cards for all of the M-series boxes. Pricing is a similar situation to Cisco. Not too bad for site-to-site if you have the chassis, but if you're adding in the cost of a chassis and interface cards as well you're back to a pretty expensive solution. * ET/R4000 http://www.etinc.com/r4000.htm FreeBSD box with an accelerator card. Comes in 100Mbps and Gigabit versions, probably can't quite do full gigabit, but could come close. Priced very attractively for site-to-site VPN's, a bit of a concern that while it's sold as a complete box with support, it's a bit less of a "solution" than the other companies offer. * IWill motherboards. These don't meet my qualification, but if you're into roll your own I will has motherboards with IPSec coprocessors onboard supported by some free OS's: http://www.iwill.net/products/ProductDetail.asp?vID=129&CID=110 -- Leo Bicknell - bicknell@ufp.org - CCIE 3440 PGP keys at http://www.ufp.org/~bicknell/ Read TMBG List - tmbg-list-request@tmbg.org, www.tmbg.org For the sake of completeness, Sun just announced a new Crypto accelerator board with GigE interfaces that does SSL and IPSec VPNs, and claims 800 Mb/s "bulk 3DES encryption": http://www.sun.com/products/networking/sslaccel/suncryptoaccel4000/index.html -- Simon.
