Determining maximum throughput for WAN & LAN interfaces
How can I determine what the maximum throughput is for the wan and lan interfaces on our Sonicwall pro 3060? How can I stress test it and see numbers? Our Internet line is 100MBits but we have never gone over using 39.75Mbits so I wonder if we can?

Layer 2 Ethernet throughput
We have 2 sites. Point A and point B. Point A has a 100M ethernet line on a 100M port and point B has a logically 20M line seating on a 100M port. Telco providers use traffic shaping to logically set the bandwidth on their L2 device at their nearest office from point B. We have multiple [...]
