  1. Services must be purchased separately.
  2. Testing Methodologies: Maximum performance based on RFC 2544 (for firewall). Actual performance may vary depending on network conditions and activated services.
  3. Full DPI/Gateway AV/Anti-Spyware/IPS throughput measured using industry standard Spirent WebAvalanche HTTP performance test and Ixia test tools. Testing done with multiple flows through multiple port pairs.
  4. VPN throughput measured using UDP traffic at 1280 byte packet size adhering to RFC 2544.
  5. Actual maximum connection counts are lower when UTM services are enabled.
  6. USB 3G card and modem are not included. View all supported USB devices.
