PIX 535: High CPU, High-Latency

[Matthew Stansel <matthew.stansel () yale edu>]

Has anyone discovered and a reliable source of information regarding 
performance or operational parameters for Cisco PIX firewalls? That is, 
acceptable limits for the various resources utilized, CPU, memory, 
interface saturation, etc. Specifically, what are the impacts of high 
CPU utilization on this platform? What are the implications of CPU 
levels exceeding 80-90%.

Many thanks,
Matthew
