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?
