Gen 7 is the previous NSa generation and remains orderable; the Gen 8 NSa range is the current one.

Overview

NSa 6700

The top of the Gen 7 NSa range: 36 Gbps of firewall inspection, 40G and 25G uplinks, and 8 million connections.

Where the NSa 6700 fits

The top of the Gen 7 NSa range: 36 Gbps of firewall inspection, 40G and 25G uplinks, and 8 million connections. Every Gen 7 NSa runs SonicOS 7 and the same security services, so the choice between them is capacity rather than capability.
