Note: All performance values are “up to” and vary depending on system configuration.

1. . IPsec VPN performance test uses AES256-SHA256.
2. IPS (Enterprise Mix), Application Control, NGFW and Threat Protection are measured with Logging enabled.
3. SSL Inspection performance values use an average of HTTPS sessions of different cipher suites.
4. NGFW performance is measured with Firewall, IPS and Application Control enabled.
5. Threat Protection performance is measured with Firewall, IPS, Application Control and Malware Protection enabled.
