HI
I was benchmarking a PIX , checkpoint and an astaro v4 box. Astaro was installed on a server class motherboard with 512 MB RAM and a P-IV processor. Using a common public SYN Flooding tool i wanted to know if there was any change in performance of the firewalls.
Astaro was configured without any content filtering and proxy, being used as just a simple NAT firewall. It had only one NAT rule.
Internal_Network -> External_Interface MASQ.
The flood was carried out over 10/100 MB Ethernet connection and Astaro became unusable. PIX and checkpoint seemed unaffected.
Why is this happening and was this addressed in v5 ?
