New clarification added: Dear bidder,Please find below some clarification answers:Questions:1) You demand a MAC Address Table Capacity of 272000 for both Datacenter (item 3) and LAN switches (item 4). Could you please confirm if this infomation is correct?2) Only very large chassis based switches that support large numbers of ports, support a MAC Address Table with a capacity of more than 200000 addresses.We encourage UNOPS to revisit the stated demands/specifications for supported MAC Address table, as the currect specifications are very difficult to meet and it is very costly.3) Item 8 - you request a NGFW that has a firewall throughput of 40 Gbps, that at the same time has a IPSec VPN throughput of 40 Gbps. Could you please confirm if this infomation is correct?Usually the demand for IPSec VPN throughput is lower than the overall firewall throughput.Answer:Please consider the schedule of requirement attached to the tender file as the last version of technical specifications.Best Regards,
