Hi List,

I'm trying to convince management that a firewall that supports 32000
concurrent sessions is enough for an organization that has a single WAN
internet link, and about 60-100 users, but I'm lacking arguments.

it depends very much what the traffic pattern for those users is.
it's not that hard to generate 32k connections with 100 pcs :)



What do you think about that statement? Are there any rational methods
available for firewall performance scaling (concurrent sessions, new
sessions per second, throughput, etc.)

Any answer/resource appreciated.
