Hi All, im looking at deploying an ASA cluster and scratching my head in terms of throughputs.
the data sheet for the 5520 says 450Mbps clear text and 250Mbps encrypted (vpn) and for the 5500 its 1.2Gbps clear text and 450Mbps encrypted basically double the capacity for roughly double the price. my question is, by how much do I have to divide these data sheet figures to get real world usable figures that i am likely to see in production. we all know that for routers you have to divide those figures by 2 at a minimum since they represent tests with 64 byte packets in strict lab conditions whith the CPU running rather hot. im really looking to be covered for say about 300Mbps down, 100Mbps up of which about 5-10% will be vpn encrypted. whats the rule of thumb for ASA boxes to get real values from the data sheet values ? Thanks, anton _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
