How we tested Juniper's SRX 5800 We assessed the Juniper SRX 5800 in terms of performance, features and usability. Because the product is marketed as a security appliance, our tests focused on security performance. We did not look at router metrics, such as BGP performance, although the SRX-5800 does have the full multiprotocol and multilayer JunOS 9.3 routing engine inside. Our security performance tests included separate sets of measurements using stateful TCP and stateless UDP traffic. For both sets of tests, we offered test traffic to 16 10-gigabit Ethernet interfaces.
