Figures are SonicWall’s published NSv XS/S/M/L specifications (datasheet, August 2026). Throughput is measured per RFC 2544 with default settings; actual performance depends on the host and on which services are enabled.
Public cloud is not the same deployment as private: VLAN interfaces are unavailable on AWS and Azure, jumbo frames are unsupported on both, high availability is unavailable on AWS, and the interface count is lower on the XS, S and M.
NSv L
The largest virtual firewall: eight vCPUs, 14 Gbps of firewall inspection, 3 million connections and all eight interfaces on public cloud.
Where the NSv L fits
The top of the virtual range, and the only one that gives you all eight interfaces on public cloud rather than two or four — which is often the deciding factor rather than the throughput. 14 Gbps of inspection and 8 Gbps with threat prevention on put it alongside the smaller rack appliances, with the difference that capacity follows the VM rather than the chassis. Worth reading against the NSa 2800: the NSa gives 8 Gbps of inspection on dedicated silicon and sixteen physical ports; the NSv L gives more throughput and no ports at all.
