Please what is the Checkpoint FW/VPN throughput I wil get if I install Checkpoint FW/VPN onto an IBM server with 1GB Network Interface Card(NIC) and have a IGB link line between sites?

Thanks

 
Hi Vallan,

No one will be able to give you a valid answer. There are many variables to include in this equation! How many objects, how many rules, the order of your rules, is your FW doing NAT, if yes how many NAT rules, is you FW doing encryption, how many simultaneous tunnels, etc, etc, etc.

What type of HW do you have, what OS are you running (W2K, Linux or SecurePlateform?

I for one would recommend SecurePlateform, it out-performed W2K and Linux in the tests that i have seen.

Cheers,
Ronald
