Original threadhttps://forums.comodo.com/firewall_help/firewall_slow_gigabit_throughput_on_cissetup38_and_39-t39719.0.html
Slow gigabit throughput when comodo firewall driver is bound to tcp/ip interface. Gigabit speeds are noticably slower per IPERF. Test results below:
- Test w/o Comodo FW bound to TCP/IP NIC Interface
- Test w/ Comodo FW bound and FW/Defense+ Enabled
- Test w/ Comodo FW bound and FW/Defense+ Disabled
Each test was done twice.
Only Workstation #1 has Comodo installed.
Iperf setup to run 2 processes with 128KByte TCP window size for 30 seconds.
Both computers setup on same Cisco 3560G (GigaBit Switch running at Gigabit).
