v4.1 came out on 1999, that should be all you need to tell your customer really.

The main things I remember from 4.1:
- NAT was still complex to do
- Still had the old part numbers and module names (like 4.0)
- GUI was composed of Policy Editor, Log Viewer and System Status (so much easier to understand than now)
- Floodgate started working a lot better (stability much improved)
- Performance improved
- Sync between clusters better, but still too slow for me to recommend anything but HA

PS It's EOL for ages and also EOS, so not really recommended

Hi MarioL,

Thank you once again for replying me.

The criteria that you mention, which 1 is for NGX R65 ? Are the following for NGX R65 ? :-

- GUI was composed of Policy Editor, Log Viewer and System Status (so much easier to understand than now)
- Floodgate started working a lot better (stability much improved)
- Performance improved
- Sync between clusters better, but still too slow for me to recommend anything but HA


Appreciate your help.
