With the substantial increase in the internet usage and the growing threat of hackers to infect as many devices as possible, security has become important to prevent data breaches and industrial sabotage. Unified Threat Management are the Next-Generation network security appliances that include multiple security features along with the performance required for future networks. But packet processing usually consumes 70% of the CPU time and during heavy load it degrades the UTM performance by dropping important packets. To overcome such limitations, many techniques and algorithms have been proposed by the researchers. In this paper, survey and numerical analysis of each technique is done based on the overall packet processing time. Based on the numerical analysis, we suggest the best technique to reduce the overall packet processing time in UTM and hence reduce the load under heavy traffic conditions.
