Abstract

WatchGuard Technologies, Inc. commissioned The Tolly Group to evaluate its Firebox III Model 1000, an enterprise-class firewall and IPSec gateway designed to serve mid-size business or branch offices. This purpose-built, Fast Ethernet security device was benchmarked by The Tolly Group, which compared the Firebox 1000 performance to a Nokia Corp. IP330 and a SonicWALL PRO-VX. The Tolly Group conducted zero-loss throughput tests in both IPSec tunnel and firewall configurations with a range of packet sizes.
