Question
In product datasheet, it has the performance data for IPSec VPN throughput. For example:PA-3220App-ID firewall throughput 5 GbpsThreat prevention throughput 2.4 GbpsConnections per second 57,000Max sessions (IPv4 or IPv6) 1,000,000Performance*App-ID firewall throughput 5 GbpsThreat prevention throughput 2.4 GbpsIPSec VPN throughput 2.7 GbpsConnections per second 57,000
How does the maximum IPSec VPN throughput define? Environment
Answer
Following from the example above:Performance*App-ID firewall throughput 5 GbpsThreat prevention throughput 2.4 GbpsIPSec VPN throughput 2.7 GbpsConnections per second 57,000
The PA firewalloverall could support up to 2.7Gbps for IPsec VPN throughput, but VPN tunnels would be based on maximum of physical link. So, if there exist six IPsec VPN tunnels came out on a 1G interface, the possible maximum throughput would be 1G divided by 6 on each tunnel. Some tunnels might get lower throughput, as it based on the traffic in each tunnel, such as traffic flows, packet sizes, etc.
