I was hoping this was an easy question. I have experience with RV042s at one end of the spectrum and Juniper SRX series at the other.
I don't think the RV042 will meet the requirement and I am looking for a standalone *of that sort* that won't require the SRX.

You need at minimum a security appliance that offers DPI

No, I meant what I said. I need at a minimum a security appliance that offers SPI. This, to meet a specification. I would contrast this with NO SPI which I'm sure is easy to obtain.

I can't really recommend a particular device because I don't know how many users you have or how many connections are running.

I said the data rate was low. How will a count of connections or users help modify that? If you must: One connection and one user and very transient at that.
Thanks for the reply. I'm hoping that something at the "low end" will do the job.
