Firewall Testing

[Shahin Ansari <zohal52 () yahoo com>]

Greetings-
      I have some questions regarding firewall testing:
  1-  Seems I am losing some syslog messages.  I have kiwi on a xp pc, and most of time it is running at 100% so I know 
it is running full speed, and it is overloaded. My Goal is to capture the critical messages, and I am thinking of 
rate-limiting the other categories which I do not care about in hope to see the more critical messages.  Any other 
suggestions?
   
  2-  I do have a good paper about capacity and througput testing of the firewall I am using, but it uses a commercial 
product.  I love to see some papers about how folks use nmap, or nessus to test different aspects, like session ramp 
rate, max connections, max concurrent connections, embryonic limit, and other features a firwall admin should test?
