Hi Mike,

Do you have SmartView Monitor? It can tell you a lot about what's going on.

Have you tried any of the speed test sites while the slowdown is going on? The best one I've found is http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest

How many clients do you have behind FW-1 that you would have more than 25,000 connections?

The Checkpoint NGX R60 HFA02 system I support recently exhusted all of the Concurrent Connections (the checkpoint log eas showing dropped connections). I increased the value of Maximum concurrent Connections on the Capacity Optimization property screen of the cluster object definition. The Calculate connection hash table size and memory pool option is set to Automatic.

There has been a very hard to explain slowdown during the afternoon. I have satisfied myself that the performance problem is within the Firewall. Memory/processor utilization is less than 25% of the machine.

Are there any options, related to the concurrent connections value, which should be adjusted or reviewed?
