Subject: ram and processor cycles for a firewall machine
Date: Fri, 1 Oct 2004 12:35:15 +0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <a0f69e504093023354ec7c59e@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
hi all,
im in the process of changing my fw machine for that atm im simulating
and testing. I got a very fair question
1) How much RAM and and processor would be best for moderate firewall box?
Unfortunatly currently my company running the fw on a P-III 500MHz
with 128MB of RAM.
I am wondering if I change to default DROP things (atm its default
ACCEPT) aren't these specification kinda makes problem?
right now 75 users online the /proc/net/ip_conntrack shows
egrep 'ESTABLISHED|ASSURED' /proc/net/ip_conntrack | wc -l
4888
cat /proc/net/ip_conntrack | wc -l
6511
well these number would probably little higher when 120 users online.
Is my current fw machine specs adequate for such ip_conntrack load?
regards
Askar
