[c-nsp] 2800/3800 crypto performance

[Pickett, McLean (OCTO)]

I've gotten 15 megs of 3des through an 851 so I think these numbers below
look low.

If you have partner access to CCO:
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/765/tools/quickreference/index.shtml

Will give you all of the cisco VPN performance specs.

Note the 4 megs for the 3005 vpn concentrator (which I've seen hit 100% CPU
at ~3 megs), what a worthless device...

I can offer you this:


model      packets/sec



2851       11 KPps     23.8 Mbps      79% CPU

2821        6 KPps     13.6 Mbps      53% CPU

2811        3 KPps      8.0 Mbps      80% CPU

2801      2.6 KPps      5.8 Mbps      83% CPU

1841      2.5 KPps      5.7 Mbps      79% CPU

2691      5.1 KPps     11.4 Mbps      81% CPU

2651XM    1.3 KPps      3.0 Mbps      85% CPU

1760      0.9 KPps      2.0 Mbps      81% CPU

which was extracted by a colleague from
