Fw: Re: Firewall scaling

["Subha" <subhaav () intotoinc com>]

Hi Tim,

The following measurements can be done:

- connections per second
[There are commercial tools that do this measurement].

- creating filter or access policy list and measure traffic performance (the
packet
matches the last entry in the list etc)

Thanks,
Subha

what view do you all have to Firewall Scaling / performance

I have a requirement for a Gig capable firewall capable of handling
approx 100k sessions concurrently varying packet sizes and i am unsure
of the session setup rate.

I would appreciate the lists views on factors to look for in terms of
performance indicators and experience's

Thanks

Tim
