Is anyone out there know where to find such information? I want to find out the right way determing firewall's performance. Is it right to judge a firewall simply based on the throuput/second as what the vendors seems be doing. Yet, I am wondering how the "network state inspection" would impact firewall's performance. Is it more prudent to benchmak firewall's performance based on "session/second"? Any input is appreciated! Thanks Mike __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!
