Overview Sun Microsystems commissioned VeriTest to measure the Layer 4 performance of their Sun N2000 Series Secure Application Switch. Sun supplied a N2120 switch running version V2_0R1firmware and configured with 12 small form factor Gigabit Ethernet ports and one function card. The function card adds support for both hardware-based Layer 4-7 application switching and SSL acceleration. Sun requested that VeriTest measure the maximum number of Layer 4 HTTP 1.0 connections/second supported by the Sun N2000 Series switch. For the test, the Sun N2000 Series switch was configured as a server load balancer positioned between clients generating HTTP requests and Web servers responding to requests.
