Latency Impact Estimator

Calculate the microsecond overhead added by Introsnet inspection compared to legacy hair-pinned firewalls.

Latency Overhead

Estimated Processing Delay (per packet)

Kernel-level processing bypasses the TCP/IP stack overhead. Includes network transit to appliance and back (hairpinning). Includes context switching between kernel and user space.

JavaScript is required for the live estimator. For context, typical latency overheads are:

Introsnet (eBPF): 15-30 microseconds
Legacy NGFW: 1,500-3,000+ microseconds
User-Space Proxy: 300-800 microseconds
