Hi,
I have a requirement to encrypt data using IPSEC over a p-t-p gig fibre link. In the past I've normally used Juniper to terminate VPNs, as I have found them excellent devices and the route based VPN functionality very useful. However looking at their range, only the ISG will do a gig of IPSEC. I'm leaning towards keeping my exising Juniper SSG550's for firewall/routing capability at each site. Then having a separate encryption devices to handle the site-to-site vpn requiring the gig throughput. Does anyone have any suggestions on devices to use?

Not knowing all your other needs, I won't swear to it... but would the Juniper SRX650 work for your situation? It can pass 1.5Gbps of encrypted traffic according to their datasheet. I've never actually tried to move that much data through the box so I can't testify to it. Also, the Juniper SRX3400 is advertised as handling 6Gbps of encrypted traffic. Of course, these are JunosES devices as opposed to ScreenOS, but the transition isn't as painful as you might expect. We actually use the J- series devices with JunosES as site routers/firewalls with a great deal of success.
