Is anybody here brave enough to be running IPsec on a 4500/4700 or even a
4000? What kind of performance can we expect from this, especially the 4000?
We have a potential customer who has a pair of "4000" routers (have yet to
verify if it's a 4700, 4500 or even a 4000) who'd like to have an IPSec VPN at
about 512 Kbps. My guess is "no go", but before replacing those boxes, I might
as well verify here. I tried looking for some 3DES performance figures for
those boxes on www.cisco.com but did not find anything obvious. Anybody have a
pointer handy?
