Hi!
I need a new firewall that can do REAL 10 GbE firewalling between internal networks on single-streams. Instead of buying a hardware-firewall, I am thinking about a virtual one...
Sophos and Fortinet are offering quite cheap virtual licenses. Fortinet demands SR-IOV, Sophos doesn't.
I need 10/40 GbE-Interfaces for backup-copy-jobs, but still wand a good IPS for the rest of the traffic (about 3 Gbit/s) --> No L3 switches or L4-firewalls.
Do you have any experiences on the maximum, possible performance with and without SR-IOV? I want to avoid it if possible, as it makes everything more complex...
Thank you for your thoughts
