Hi Christophe,
The 2500-series routers would *NOT* be capable of performing 3DES processing
with a 2MB link. To put it into perspective, I recently spoke to an engineer
from Cisco and he confirmed that one of the higher end routers, the 3640,
will only perform 3DES encryption at a rate of 512Kbit. The 3640 is easily
10+ times faster than the 2500 series.
As well, a 1600-series router performing only DES (56-bit) encryption is
only capable of about 64kbit/sec processing. This router is comparable in
performance to the 2500-series. 3DES processing, then, would be far less and
would be VERY poor.
Therefore, the 2500 wouldn't even be capable of managing 64 Kbit or 128 Kbit
of 3DES processing. Your 2Mb link would be better served by something like
the Cisco VPN Concentrator 3005 or similar.
