Fortinet opts to publish only a subset of SSL performance numbers that are consistent with others in the industry. Although we
test all our products extensively, we choose to share these additional details with customers, as they are needed on a case-by-
case basis. SSL Performance numbers are based on best effort and depend on many variables. This should be taken into account
when designing the solution.
Below is a list of the latest complete SSL performance statistics for the FortiADC based on version 5.0 B0045.

* SSL CPS (TPS) - measures number of new SSL connections (1 HTTPS Request per Connection) within 1 second; SSL Ciphers=AES128-SHA
** SSL CPS (TPS) ECC - measures number of new SSL connections (1 HTTPS Request per Connection) within 1 second; SSL Ciphers= ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384
*** SSL CPS (TPS) ECDSA - measures number of new SSL connections (1 HTTPS Request per Connection) within 1 second; SSL Ciphers=ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA
*SSL-FP performance is based client side ADC encryption performance in a “sandwich” deployment. In this scenario, we used 2 ADC (one to decrypt, and the
second one to encrypt). The results refer to the first ADC (decrypt); SSL Ciphers=AES256-SHA
**SSL-FP performance is based 1 ADC with 2 VDOMs. ADC decrypts and encrypts traffic on the same appliance; SSL Ciphers=AES256-SHA
