Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) performance is evaluated using a 1 MB HTTP data stream and an Enterprise Traffic Mix.
Application Control performance is measured with 64 KB HTTP traffic to reflect typical application usage.
Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) performance is based on tests with both IPS and Application Control features enabled, using an Enterprise Traffic Mix.
Threat Protection performance includes IPS, Application Control, and Malware Protection enabled, measured under an Enterprise Traffic Mix scenario.
