Sar data analysis would probably be sufficient for finding the more severe problems. vmstat would give you some of that info in real time as well. You should also look at some netstat -s output for protocol statistics to make sure your interfaces are optimized. Finally, look at your firewall memory allocations etc etc. George -----Original Message----- From: Nagu Sittampalam [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 26, 2001 1:03 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [FW1] Performance of your firewall Hello What do people do to measure the performance of their firewall box to decide if it needs upgrading etc... We are running on a Sun solaris system. Would using vmstat or sar gives a good indication of your firewall box performance or do you need to use other tools.
