It depends on what you'll be sending through the firewall in production. There's a big difference between different types of traffic. Basic test tools include iperf, netperf, and many others. That type of test only tells you the maximum achievable single stream throughput, though you can customize to some extent. Better to replicate an environment similar to what you'll have in production, whether web serving, VoIP, web browsing, whatever. There are specific tools for most protocols. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
