Cisco ASA Ipsec VPN throughput

Skevich17

Level 1

I have 2 sites, with ASA 5510 and IPSEC VPNs. When i try to copy file from one site to other, the speed cant raise over 1mbps. 

Also on one site CPU is utilized around 80-90%, mostly by process Dispatch_Unit. But even when CPU is around 15%, the speed of one session cant raise over 1mbps.

show traffic command shows some drops on outside interface, where vpns are builded.

outside:

      1 minute drop rate, 8 pkts/sec

      5 minute output rate 4882 pkts/sec,  1011055 bytes/sec
      5 minute drop rate, 15 pkts/sec

PCAP shows dup ACKS.

After i removed VPN-Filters from IPSEC vpns, CPU went down to ~50%, but the speed of one session through vpn is the same
