We need to encrypt our traffic between our network colocation service (Equinix) and AWS. We have a full 10G connection. It seems like the limit on the CSR 1000v deployed in Amazon is only 5G if we use IPsec. Of course, it's very likely I'm missing something or just not understanding. Has anyone used the CSR 1000v to get a full 10G connection with traffic encryption?
