Hi all,
We have significant performance problems on our firewall. We have a Sun
Ultra 5 running Firewall-1 v4.0 SP6 on Solaris 2.6.
Our users use a combination of direct access, user authentication and client
authentication. We do accounting logging for a lot of traffic.
Direct access users have really good response for web browsing, but user and
client authentication users find browsing painfully slow.
We have plenty of memory (no paging), the cpu is idling between 60-70% of
the time, load averages are under 0.5.
We are filtering only about 300-500 packets a second and typically have less
than 5000 active connections at any time.
No network errors and interfaces are set to 100mbps full-duplex.
All-in-all it appears to be a very underutilised system and yet
authenticated users find it extremely slow.
Why????????
Thanks in advance for any ideas/solutions.
Regards,
Kerry.
