M-Switch X.400 Benchmarks

Overview

This paper gives performance benchmarks for Isode's M-Switch X.400, a high-performance X.400 Message Transfer Agent. M-Switch X.400 is deployed by Isode customers in a number of solutions areas. The benchmarks re-enforce the belief that M-Switch X.400 is substantially faster than any other X.400 MTA. M-Switch X.400 supports the two core MTA (Message Transfer Agent) protocols: X.400 P3, for message submission and delivery and X.400 P1, for message transfer. Performance of P3 for message submission and delivery was measured as a part of benchmarking M-Store X.400 described in the whitepaper M-Store X.400 Benchmarks. These benchmarks focus on X.400 P1.
