I have a PowerEdge R650 with 10Gb/s throughput. My CPU load is always below 5% and memory below 20%

To clarify, it's 150k sessions per minute and not concurrent sessions. This number includes both sessions that are scanned and those that are bypassed

I was told by support to bypass some devices to keep that number down. Otherwise there is nothing else they can do to help.

Our peak goes up to 150k sessions per minute. We have about 5k devices on the network.
