https://live.paloaltonetworks.com/t5/general-topics/throughput/m-p/592631#M117940 <P>Hello,</P> <P>We have a Palo Alto 3260 firewall with two 40 Gbps QSFP+ ports, but its maximum firewall throughput is 8.8 Gbps. How does the firewall handle the traffic entering through the SFP+ ports, considering the potential incoming traffic exceeds the firewall's throughput capacity? How does the device manage this traffic, and what happens to the packets when the traffic exceeds the firewall's 8.8 Gbps throughput limit? And the percentage of packet dropping is 3%.</P> <P>Thanks.</P> Mon, 22 Jul 2024 12:19:59 GMT benafra 2024-07-22T12:19:59Z https://live.paloaltonetworks.com/t5/general-topics/throughput/m-p/592631#M117940 <P>Hello,</P> <P>We have a Palo Alto 3260 firewall with two 40 Gbps QSFP+ ports, but its maximum firewall throughput is 8.8 Gbps.
