TECHNICAL FAQ
SSL/TLS Decryption Performance & Overhead Estimator - FAQs
Detailed technical answers regarding formulas, network constants, and capacity assumptions.
Calculations are based on industry-standard IMIX packet distributions (64-byte, 570-byte, and 1518-byte packets) with standard cryptographic overhead factors.
TECHNICAL EVALUATION
Evaluate 4CGuard on your network topology
