HTTP through the XGS 136 the datasheet's way - 512 KiB a response, a thousand connections, 2026-10-29

The vendor gives its firewall throughput for HTTP with 512 KB responses, measured with a traffic generator that plays the clients and the servers on either side of the box. Until this page the XGS 136 had been loaded with iperf3 streams only (a thousand connections at once). Here is the vendor's kind of load, as far as this bench can make it: one gigabit path through the box, a thousand connections at once, each asking for 512 KiB again and again - with its connections kept open, and with a new connection for each response.

The whole page, with how it was taken and what it does not show: HTTP through the XGS 136 the datasheet's way - 512 KiB a response, a thousand connections, 2026-10-29.
