Maybe my google search skill is low, but I cannot find any information about that. The only thing that comes to me is this URL from Intel (http://www.intel.com/network/connectivity/products/pro1000_quad_bypass_server_adapters.htm), which I know by just looking at it, that thing won't come in cheap price. I just want to use it as a NIC for my firewall, to eliminate the possibilities of traffic went down when the firewall is unable to operate. Thank you, Regards, -affan
