I'm trying to convince management that a firewall that supports 32000 concurrent sessions is enough for an organization that has a single WAN internet link, and about 60-100 users, but I'm lacking arguments.
Sami - you obviously work for retards. If they need to have arguments from their technical staff regarding matters of technical obviousness, they clearly don't understand the problem and aren't likely to ever understand it. My suggestion is that you tell them "Industry Expert Marcus Ranum SAYS that for 100 concurrent users you need EXACTLY 3,560 concurrent session capability." It's based on a formula that I would publish, except that, unfortunately, it was classified by the IAEA. mjr. _______________________________________________ firewall-wizards mailing list firewall-wizards () listserv icsalabs com https://listserv.icsalabs.com/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards
