Hardware Firewall
I am doing some research on Hardware Firewalls that provide greater than 500Mbps of DDOS Protection. I am searching on Google (mostly for Cisco models, although i did find a NetGear product aswell) however if you have any inputs on certain models it would assist me, i don't mind what brand it is.

Juniper's website is a good resource - very easy to check each model's throughput and they're ranked in the right order..
The cisco firewalls, do have options for 1Gig modules? Cisco Guard and such?
Other then that fortinet is the next I can think of from the top of my head.
How do these firewalls filter ddos? Can't ddos be any type of packet? Do they look at all packets?
Yep.
I have a Sonicwall 3500 located in Denver, CO. I can sell it
How much for this firewall?
@Alex_LiquidHost, PM Sent.
Is the FortiGate-3600A a good model?
Do you really have the budget for the mentioned Fortinet?
>
Yes my budget would cover that model @Alex_LiquidHost. The other model i am looking into is the FortiGate-1000C.
I dont have direct experience but the fortigate at limehost here can handle 12 gbps theoretically but chokes at about 80 K pps.
I would recommend juniper too.
only 80k pps? I have a very old cisco switch that does 20k pps >.>
I would recommend juniper too.
I heard it chokes at 120k pps.. Considering I've had more pps on a single node - not really practical.
I think i am searching for the wrong products, the pps is very low on Cisco/Juniper/FortiNet.
I found the following DDOS-specific products: Radware, Riorey (however i could not find any supplier for this)
Also for FortiNet, maybe the FortiDDOS hardware are more appropriate - http://www.avfirewalls.com/FortiDDoS-100A.asp
They are actually so expensive... $24K for 4 x 1GbE, What adds $24K value into that?
