[fi-rg] Comments to our latest document

[Ralph Niederberger]

Dear Thijs and all,

I have converted the text referenced on page 4 into English, so that we
can change the text here from

"A market overview of high speed firewalls (as of August 2006) can be 
accessed
at the D-Grid project web page [D-Grid]."

to

"A market overview of high speed firewalls (as of August 2006) can be 
accessed
at the "Internal Reports" web page of Forschungszentrum Jülich [D-Grid]."

In the Annex the reference should be changed to:

[D-Grid] M.Meier, E.Gruenter, R.Niederberger, Th.Eickermann,
High-speed Firewalls: A Market Analysis, D-Grid Integrationproject FG 3-5,
Forschungszentrum Jülich, August 2006,
http://www.fz-juelich.de/jsc/files/docs/ib/ib-08/ib-2008-06.pdf


Best regards

Ralph
