All measurements are based upon TCP traffic unless stated otherwise. Total Firewall Throughput is calculated based on maximum PPS and standard 1500 byte packets. Maximum PPS is measured using 500 byte packets. IPS performance is measured using 25K ET Open malware rules and standard 1500 byte packet size. (SSL) VPN is measured using AES256GCM16. Concurrent sessions are based upon memory available, where one state consumes 1KB of memory and 1GB of memory is reserved for system tasks. Latency is measured as an average over 60 seconds.

Supported SFP(+) Modules

When using SFP+ modules, do not mix 2.5/5Gbps and 10Gbps link speeds, as the hardware does not support combining these modes due to different operating frequencies.

While most standard LC-LC OM3 SFP+ modules and SFP+ Direct Attached Cables are likely to function, we recommend selecting one of the known compliant modules listed here: https://docs.opnsense.org/hardware/sfp_compatibility.html
