The data sheet says 5 Gbps, 100k CPS and 1M concurrent.

I've never seen anything running close to that and it's likely a
marketing number (just UDP, one direction, no nat, no features,
no nothing, downhill and sun in your back) but the FWSM *is* a
very powerfull NAT device.

It'll happily do Gbps of traffic, 10s of kCPS, 200k concurrent,
including NAT and firewalling.
