I am currently doing a project on performance measurment of firewalls. My basic concern is "how far can we go with them", i.e what are the upper limits in terms of traffic passing thru a firewall gateway/router. Is there any public domain software out there that could make my life easier? (something that would possibly send different packets back and forth and do some timing and/or count dropped packets etc...). My setting consists of two small subnets running FreeBSD and a fw router in between. Any help/ideas will be highly appreciated. Evan Nanos vaggelis@cs.sunysb.edu
