Arp Table Size

Hi Robert,

Can you give me an example of what exactly you are looking for, may be a link to what other vendor's list that could help me understand it.

Thanks

Ok, but wondering about my question wasn't something Special....

I would like to add:

maximum number of Firewall Rules or ACL allowed. Checkpoint, Fortigate show this numbers on their datasheet.

I found this request more frequently on public tenders.

Thanks

HI Robert 

We do not have a current official document on the product datasheet , But We have added the Firewall Sizing Chart to check which device should you choose for your environment . 

Since arp entry correlates to an ipaddress would the sizing guide be a 1:1 representation of arp

The net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_thres1, 2 ,3  on my system are set to..

Thresh1 = the minimum number of entries to keep in arp cache, “garbage collector will not run if there are fewer”

Thresh2 = the soft max to keep, the garbage collector runs after the allowed number exceeds this for5 seconds

Thresh3 = the garbage collector will always run if there are more than this…

So our minimum is 16384 and max is 32768

Which is higher than the values in the tables noted.
