Firewall rules optimization for CPU and Network throughput

Hi.

This is a tricky question.

What would be the best option to reduce resource usage(CPU usage, throughput) on Checkpoint gateways, while grouping rules? Let me show you an example of a rule where multiple servers consume web APIs/data.

  • 1 rule with all hosts listed as source(thats how he have this rule today inside a Layer - Rule 21.3)
  • 1 rule, all hosts inside a group object, that object as source of the rule
  • 1 rule per source. This makes sense since those hosts access the internet at different rates/bandwidth so, hit count is not equal/balanced among them, but does not make sense if we think top-down rule precedence overhead
