Re: benefits of upgrading to NGx R65 versus R60, R61 or R62

Hi,

i had a NGX R60 in production and i upgraded it o NGX
R61.
after that i discovered that it would be better to
apply hfa to R60 then upgrade to R61, because there
are many issues that hfa 2 from R61 does not solve and
hfa 5 from R60 solves - for instance : msn malformed
packets dropped; voip (sip, etc ..) malformed packets
dropped; 

someone told me that R61 with hfa2 compares to R60 hfa
4

good lucky
