Firewall Ports
Could someone please settle an inter-office argument? Will your network traffic be slower through a firewall on any other port other than port 80. In other words, is port 80 faster than any other port you open on the firewall. I say no. Thanks in advance for the help!

 i would say no, with no additional features a firewall should only act as a "router". if you have some features like intrusion detection, Application-layer security, VPN so&so&so&so, it could be slower than a "normal" router, but to be honest, i cannot believe that in that situation port 80 is faster than another one.... gP
