Niels,

SMARTS scalability?  Thousands and thousands of ports monitored... from
what I recall from certain documentation, 2,000 ports is `good', 5,000
is `doable' and 25,000 is `too many' (for a single installation).

Also its work noting you can have multiple domains and use cross domain
correlation [which actually works] if you need to scale the tool. So
scaling beyond 25000 shouldn't be an issue.

Yes, thanks for noticing - we're doing that too, not that we have 25,000
ports here yet ;), but more for redundancy reasons.

Regards,


        -- Niels.
