NOTE: All performance values are expressed as “up to” and may vary based on system configuration.

*Performance is measured using bidirectional, full-duplex (symmetrical ingress and egress) WAN bandwidth with 1400-byte traffic, based on performance tests conducted with both UDP and TCP in SD-WAN fabric and Breakout (passthrough) scenarios.

**Performance is measured using bidirectional, full-duplex (symmetrical ingress and egress) WAN bandwidth with IMIX based on average packet size of 361 bytes.

***Performance is measured as any traffic (Tx, Rx) being processed by the IDS/IPS engine. The measurement is based on a mix of Internet traffic types averaging 1000 bytes.
