Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
The SFE protects information flowing between nodes or sites of a frame relay network. It can be con-figured to either allow or disallow information flow between two frame relay nodes. Furthermore, the information flow can be either protected through encryption or passed without encryption. The SFE II supports Full-Duplex throughput of up to 4 Mbps and 1022 active secure connections.
