are firewalls limited to only protecting ehternet connections?

["R. DuFresne" <dufresne () sysinfo com>]

Howdy folks,

Here's the question and concern.  High bandwidth pipes, newer ones, we're
talking HIPPI pipes.  Are there any firewall implentations that can manage
such a connection?  Or is this too BIG a pipe and perhaps too new, and so
not available in existing implementations?

Thanks,


Ron DuFresne
