Performance investigation

[David Newman]

Here are links to a couple of performance comparisons. Vendors are now
claiming higher rates; as noted in these links, it is a good practice to
grill vendors on exactly what they did to achieve the rates they claim (what
packet size, what kind of encryption, what type of compression, how many
concurrent connections, and so on).

Hope this helps.

> Hello!
>
> I'm looking for some investigation about VPN performance:
> - different products with SW/HW implementation (in correlation with
> CPU speed) and the influence to bandwith and specially latency.
> - The influnence of lower MTU (due to more overhead) or higher latency
> values to network windowing mechanisms (like TCP uses a windowing
> mechanism).
>
> Does anyone know, where to find such an investigation?
> Please do not send adviertisement about VPN products, that they'll support
> up to xyz mbit/s - I'm looking for a little bit more detailed
> data...
