  2. PL8920's h/w is Advantech's PC platform built with 2 Intel CPU, same as PL8820, has many scaling issues. Don't expect it to achieve 50Gbps except for traffic counting only. It becomes even worse when you enable more I/O channels.

    Advantech also offers a DPI platform with its FWA + Qosmos engine. Procera claim of "industrial benchmark" is not true as Advantech sets the "benchmark" first.
