Checkpoint performance... is this all right ?
I've several Checkpoint firewalls running on the following boxes:
Sun 220R with 512 Mbyte RAM, 9 Gb HD, 1 quad FE, Solaris 8 64 bit
All the systems are running with stonebeat fullcluster 3.0 in hot-standby configuration and Checkpoint NG AI R55.
During high traffic condition I found that they can reach a maximum bandwith of
40 mbps before the CPU goes to 100% (obviously in that condition a failover would result in a complete crash of both systems). During some tests i've reached a limit of 75 mbps with a couple of http downloads (so not a lot of simultaneous sessions but pure bandwith limit due to massive file transfer).Is this normal behaviour?
