The NPE-G2 will never do that for encrypted traffic.

The NPE-G2 can do 950Mbps of aggregated IP/MPLS traffic with 
no ACL's or QoS, at about 90% CPU utilization and 0% packet 
drops assuming no microbursts. I know, I did it.

With only 10% CPU to spare, no way it will do 950Mbps of 
encrypted traffic.

As mentioned before, the ASR1000 provides the best mix of 
oomph and IP ability.

Cheers,
