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?
