Firepower Performance Numbers

[Wise_Man_1]

Hi,

Does anyone know the real performance numbers for the new FP4100 with all features enabled? The data sheet only shows sizing throughput for AVC or IPS, but there are no numbers for AVC+IPS, AVC+IPS+AMP or AVC+IPS+AMP+URL? Will this have the same degradation numbers as ASA with FP? I have seen a document from a partner that states

• 30-45% drop for IPS + AVC

• 50-65% drop for IPS + AVC + AMP

Hi there. Yes, the same rules should apply. URL filtering is a very minimum hit while AMP and SSL decryption are the biggest ones. Obviously packet size also matters a lot so the numbers can vary. 

I hope this helps!
