ASA Dispatch unit

[movahedtsetmc]

Dear ALL,

I have an ASA 5520 with 60% CPU usage  related to dispatch unit.

I am going to buy a new ASA.

How can I compare  ASA models based on their dispatch unit processing capacity?

Thanks

Ali

ASA dispatch unit is related to traffic processing.

If the traffic volume in your network is towards the higher end of device capacity then you will see the

cpu to be at higher values.

As far as choosing a device is concerned, you should refer the ASA datasheets and find an appropriate device based on overall needs of your network.

You can refer following link for comparing different device:

Hope it helps!!!

Thanks Seth

But

My ASA 5520 with 60% CPU usage  related to dispatch unit has 70 Mbps traffic ( sum of all interfaces)

Max Throughput of ASA 5520 is  450 Mbps . So CPU usage should be 15% not 60%.

Who it comes?

Thanks
