I'm trying to figure out how many rules my
FW setup can handle before performance starts
to suffer.
Does anyone know a general "rule of thumb" about how
many rules FW-1 can handle before a performance hit?
I'm guessing it depends on a number of factors, such as
the hardware hosting the FW, speed of the network,
number of hosts, etc.
I'd also like to know how others test performance
of their rule base (simple FTP transfers?)
On a related note, does anyone know if FW-1 uses any
sort of algorithm to increase performance? For example,
if I set up 200 rules to monitor FTP, will the other
services not using FTP be affected?
Thanks!
Marty
