Hi,
I am wondering if there are any inherent limitations in VSX that would cause a single VS to stop processing traffic at around 5000 connections/second. I saw a recent instance where a 21400 appliance did exactly that. According to the appliance comparison chart this should be able to process 130,000 connections/second. Of course I understand that those figures won't be when running VSX but 5000 conns/sec for one VS seems a bit low for me.
The setup:
o 21400 appliance
o R77.30 GAIA
o 12 CPU, 24GB RAM
o 8 x VS each with one fwk
o 2 x SND
Any thoughts/comments?
