Throughput, or a firewall's ability to inspect network traffic without dropping packets or degrading the user experience, is one of the most important metrics to consider when selecting an enterprise-class firewall. The FortiGate-3950B from Fortinet delivers 120 Gbps of firewall throughput for packets of any size, ensuring fast network performance and accurate policy enforcement for large corporations and service providers. Unique FortiASIC™ architecture enables near wire-speed performance by 'hard-coding' resource-intensive tasks into a dedicated chip, freeing critical CPU cycles for other tasks.To validate firewall throughput in different deployment scenarios, Fortinet conducted rigorous performance testing of the FortiGate-3950B using multiple BreakingPoint Elite chassis and blades in different configurations.
