Next gen firewall bake-off

["Kumar, Shashank" <skumar () FGCU EDU>]

Greetings Colleagues,

I also posted this in the 'Netman' group. I apologize if anyone received this email twice.

We are evaluating next gen firewall solution for our campus and wanted to tap into the collective expertise of our 
group.
I have the following questions to ask the group:


1.       The test case that we intend to use attached. Could anyone provide feedback on the test case - is it thorough, 
are we missing anything?

2.       We don't have access to Spirent or Ixia. Are there any free imix or any other traffic generators that can help 
measure bandwidth? Is iperf the best option?

3.       What tools would you use for SYN flood/UDP flood testing and for IPS testing?

4.       What did your bake-off/test case look like?

5.       Experience with any NGFW that you can share?

Thank you for your time and feedback.

Best Regards,
Shashank
