I re-ran the results but they were not better. As an example with fireperf -c -P 100 -x -p 63000:63010 Without suricata running on IPFire I got 55cps - 8000cps and very fluctuating. I also found that on the server table it was showing mostly zero for Open Connections with occasionally having a 1 or 2 If I turned suricata back on and re-ran the same test I got 300cps - 8000cps and very fluctuating but on the server I had 500-600 Open Connections. I don't know what is expected to be seen on the client and on the server in this test but the above was what I found. Without suricata and running fireperf -c -P 1 -x -p 63000:63010 the server stayed at 0 Open Connections. The client had a few secs going from 8000 down to 5800cps then after around 10 secs the rate went down to 0cps - 235cps fluctuating and stayed like that. Regards, Adolf > > Thanks, > Daniel > > 16.
