FP4120 NGFW 10Gbps interface throughput restriction

[ighodalo]

I will like to know if anyone has ever experience 10Gbps throughput restriction on the  FP4100 series NGFW?

There is no software/license rate-limiting on the Firepower 4100s. The throughput itself depends on several factors:

1. Features running on the appliance (NGFW, NGIPS, AMP, URL Filtering, SSL Inspection). SSL Inspection itself can have a major performance hit especially if done in software.

2. Traffic pattern (packet size, micro-bursts, TCP/UDP, etc).
