      Hi
      Hacom Firewall Appliances use pfsense. it's comparison table is strange.
      pfsense has 1.5 Gbps firewall throughput with 1 Gigabit port! (Mercury IV 1U Server)
      Is this number summed throughput of 5 interfaces? therefore, has pfsense 300 mbps firewall throughput? this is very low number for 4GB RAM and Multicore i3.

            A 1gb port can do 1gb both ways, which is 2gb/s.
