All performance values are "up to" and vary depending on system configuration. Antivirus performance is benchmarked using HTTP traffic (32 Kbyte objects).
1. Higher figure uses FMC modules to achieve the stated performance.
2. Maximum firewall and VPN system performance is based on fully populated system with FMC-XD2 modules.
3. Maximum IPS performance is based on fully populated system with FMC-XG2 modules
