[pfSense Support] Benchmark tool
Hi, I am looking for a tool (or a configuration setup) that will allow me to benchmark (performance test) couple of firewall based on pfSense, and eventualy to compare them with other software / hard solution. Any idea, clue, link will be highly appreciated.

Any idea, clue, link will be highly appreciated. It depends on what you'll be sending through the firewall in production. There's a big difference between different types of traffic. Basic test tools include iperf, netperf, and many others. That type of test only tells you the maximum achievable single stream throughput, though you can customize to some extent. Better to replicate an environment similar to what you'll have in production, whether web serving, VoIP, web browsing, whatever. There are specific tools for most protocols. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
