7204VXR ipsec performance

Nov 28, 2007 6 Replies

Hello max,

Do you have anything on performance on this router with only basic routing?

Make sure to use VAM card with Ipsec for improved performance.

:-)) well, I do not have 20K$ for this card

note they dont even post numbers for 7200 without encryption hardware.

seems a bit crazy to spend more than $20k on the router, and then not use the accelerator which gives you reasonable thruput.

Anyway - then you have the wrong box. try a 28xx, 3825 or 3845 with the built in IPsec hardware.

more perf numbers for other things:
