I agree fully with Hugh on the weight distribution based on the rule (meaning distributed by protocol) however my concern was why 50Mbs when the link was 100Mbs?

I have a question for checkpoint flood-gate gurus in the forum.

 I have NG AI R55 with HFA_20 running on SPLAT enforcement
module.  This module is being managed from a Provider-1 NG
AI R55 with HFA_20.  I have single firewall at the moment
but I configure ClusterXL on this firewall because I will
add a second firewall for Active/Active very soon.  Everything
is working so far.

 I also have Floodgate on the SPLAT enforcement.  I have
3 floodgate rules (including the default rule):
 1)  Any  Any  ssh   weigh_70
2)  Any  Any  FTP   weigh_15
3)  Any  Any  any   weigh_10
 I have this setup "per rule" ONLY.

Isn't weight done based on the rules? So you had 3x 16Mb/s = 48Mb/s on rule 1.

When you started ftp the balance becomes:

 SSH: 3x 10Mb/s = 30 Mb/s
 FTP: 1x 20Mb/s = 20 Mb/s

So SSH as set still outweighs FTP as set.

Can you test this again with equal numbers of FTP and SSH sessions? Say 3 or 5 ssh and as many ftp sessions.
