Interpretation of measurements

[Forjan Tamas <tamas () 2fkft com>]

Dear Wizards,

many firewall vendors list some metrics about their products that they
feel will give an idea of the performance of the products. Such a
measurement is the connections/sec value.

I don't have too much experience with high-traffic sites. Those of you who
have, how would you interpret "1000/2000 connections/sec" into real-life
usability (e.g. number of users)?

I am also interested in hearing what connections/sec numbers do your
firewalls reach at how many users.

Thanks a lot,
