Re: Pre-N and VOIP woes
said by stevedaulton  :3) As far as I can tell, v2 of the router adds the firewall and v1 did not have it at all. So it is no more insecure as running the original v1 (which I have as well). The F5D8230-4 version 1000 series, has from its release, support for Stateful Packet Inspection [SPI Firewall] and Network Address Translation [NAT - also a form of Firewall]. The version 1000 series did not provide security logging of value where anyone who understands how to read the output could make an intelligent assessment of the traffic being logged. The QoS implementation on the 1000 series works well for me [VoIP specifically]
The version 2000 series of the F5D8230 improves on the logging -- however I have not had the time needed to fully asses its merits. My tests so far also show that the 2000 series of this device is [30% +/- 5%] slower than the 1000 series.
