It's a proxy firewall. PPS benchmarks are irrelevant because the traffic
is moving through layer 7.

This isn't intended as a bash at you, Kevin, because you're not the
one who raised PPS as a measure of firewall performance (I think it
was Carson) - but if someone starts talking about PPS as a firewall
benchmark, they may as well hold up a big sign that reads:
"I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT A FIREWALL DOES"
