[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] RE: [FW1] NT or Unix
The apples-to-apples benchmarks I mentioned were performed on Penguin Computing boxes (700Mhz Intel processor, 128MB RAM) using FireWall-1 v4.1. Tests were run with both Red Hat Linux with the 2.2.16 kernel, and with NT 4.0 SP6. The Linux throughput numbers were more than 40% higher than the NT numbers. However, it's important to note that these were lab tests in an artificial environment, so they should be taken with a grain of salt. A different testing method might yield substantially different results. It's also important to note that the NT numbers weren't exactly low, just lower than the Linux numbers. If the firewall is hooked up to a T1 WAN pipe, the NT box will still have PLENTY of excess capacity. The throughput limitations of NT are only an issue with LAN-to-LAN or very high-speed Internet connections. Mark L.
