Curios What Does FVS Mean?
While this is not necessarily a problem, it is more of a curiosity. If anyone has any references, I would appreciate it. I am curious what the model naming convention is for FVS318N, or Netgear ...
I thought this was interesting and asked around.. Theory is;
F = firewall
V = IPSec VPN
S = SSL VPN
N = N capable wireless
G = Gigabit ports
SRX series is a bit of a mystery though :)
I've always kinda wondered this too looking at models like the SRX and scratching my head. So here's my guess:
S = SSL
R = Rackmount
X = X WAN ports?
I just ran into an older model number that was probably the predecessor to the SRX538--FVX538. Still not sure what that x means, but it's definitely inherited from previous lines.
