[c-nsp] Router recommndation 200 Mbps encryption traffic ( 7200 NPEG2 with C7200-VSA Card)

[Geyer, Nick]

Hi,

We use a 7206 with NPE-G1 and VSA which is currently supporting ~10-15
tunnels running 150Mbps of throughput (with 1400 byte packets). The CPU
hovers around the 45% mark most of the time, and this is with some extra
features running such as basic QoS, OSPF and the box is also supporting
a large number of FR and ATM interfaces.

I don't honestly think you will have any problems at all.

I am trying to spec a router for IPSEC head end. What I am looking is to
sustain total of 200 Mbps IPSEC throughput with about 20 tunnels. It
will also doing some QOS,

specifically priority queuing the EF packets which is previously marked
and running routing protocol OSPF . 

 

The data sheet suggest it can support up to 900 Mbps encryption
throughput. This might be for 1400 byte packet with no features turned
on, not to say CPU being 100%.  I am looking for real world throughput. 

I am wondering If  7200 can do the job  without CPU  being 100%
utilized or VSA module processor being  100% utilized.
