This is way lower than what Cisco quotes, and our rule set is quite small (a few dozen rules).</P><P></P><P>Is this normal? We are using an AIP-SSM-20 module - could that have an effect on the firewall CPU?</P><P></P><P>Thanks</P> Mon, 11 Mar 2019 15:56:02 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/asa5520-performance/m-p/1249156#M858606 osiristrading 2019-03-11T15:56:02Z Re: ASA5520 performance https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/asa5520-performance/m-p/1249157#M858608 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>What are you using to stress test your 5520?</P><P></P><P>Do you have any of the advanced threat-detection or scanning-threat detection enabled?
