I am trying to
find out what FW-1 limitations.
Limitations I would be interested in would be how many
socket/flows/connections can the state table handle before the firewall is
slow or dies. What is the
amount of “hits” per second can FW-1 can handle and make stateful decisions
about before it is slow or fails?
I know there will be some limitation by bandwidth, OS, and hardware,
but lets say you are running on a SUN 4500 with 4 processors, 4 gigs of ram,
Solaris 2.7 with a three legged design thus giving you 100mb to ISP, DMZ,
and internal LAN.
Does anyone have
a good link or knowledge of this kind of information?
