WSA limite

[cisco.13]

Hello,
I cannot find the limits of the WSA S300v, S600v, S1000v proxies in the datasheet, which only displays disk, CPU, and RAM limits.
I would like to know the following limits:

Number of transactions per second or per minute
Bandwidth
.....

Thank you
Regards

Hello,

Thank you for your reply

One information not shared across WSA any document
- why ?

Maximum 44K TCP connection :
- by minute ? by second ?
- simultaneous at time t?
- 1 transaction = 1 TCP connection ?
- Client or Server Connections, both ?
- limit per model S300 S600 S1000 ...?

Hello @cisco.13 

The 44,000 Client connections and server connections are not the limit, it is advised to not have more than 44,000 client connections ( live at the same time ) and / or 44,000 server connections.

the limit is 60,000 TCP connections, for each side : 

Client connections: Client <-> WSA 

Server Connections: WSA <-> Web server  

This limits per every model and the differences in each models except the resources, are handling the requests per-seconds, which is dependent to your configuration and network environment, you can ask your AM team to advise regarding your design and suggestions. 

Side note: you can check these statistics in your SHD logs:
