You are right, my answer indeed was not complete - if connections would have
hogged CPU, I thought Mel would have indicated it or even resolved it but he
questioned and I answered purely from that perspective - btw, no answer is
complete - it begets more questions, is it not;-)?

  the answer is, it depends.  Your firewalls could be passing 10Mbps
traffics and the CPU
  could be running at 100% if you have a lot of connections "fw ctl
pstat".

  I have an Nokia IP740 running Checkpoint NGx R61 with HFA_01 and IPSO
4.1build 19.
  This firewall can pass 80Mbps of VPN traffics AES-256/SHA-1/DH-14/PFS
and the CPU is
  running at about 45%.  But that is because my testing is both ftp ans
scp so I don't have
  that many connections on the firewalls.

  as a side note, whatever information provided by Nokia, take those
values and multiply
  by .25.  That's how you expect to get in a production environment.

  Hi :

We met a problem about the FW CPU loading raised to 90% when
throughput reach to 50M bps. Our platform is Nokia IP740 with 1G memory,
IPSO3.8

,and FW is R55,

So do you know any capacity limit in IP740 with R55?

Many Thanks,

Mel
