      Concurrent sessions is where pfSense really stands out as a firewall device. Just add more RAM if you need more. Have a look at this thread to see what can be acheived. I have no idea what you might test it with though.

        There isn't any free network firewall test program that can measure firewall throughput and max. concurrent sessions. Commercial products are spirent avalanche and breakingpoint firestorm.
