FPR 2110 slow IPSEC with ASA

kerstin-534
Level 1
Level 1

Can somebody help me.

We have changed ASA 5512-X to FPR 2110. There is a IPSEC tunnel running on it.

Here is the throughput with ASA5512-X one parallel flow. This is inbound to ASA5512-X

Encryption Settings below

Protocol : IKEv1 IPsec
Encryption : IKEv1: (1)AES256 IPsec: (1)AES256
Hashing : IKEv1: (1)SHA1 IPsec: (1)SHA1

 

Tests below

The same test is performed to FPR2110 (appliance mode) with extreme slow performance

if FPR2110 configure with Platform Mode same test decreses to 80Mbit (instead 750Mbit of ASA5512-X)

What is going wrong with Firepower 2110 DECRYPTION ?

-- Each morning when I wake up and look into the mirror I always say ' Why am I so brilliant ? '
    When the mirror will then always repond to me with ' The only thing that exceeds your brilliance is your beauty! '

One IPERF3 stream has 25Mbit decryption, 25 IPERF3 streams have 80Mbit decryption in Appliance Mode. Noting wrong with hardware or software, I can reproduce it with different software versions both on different boxes. ASA 5512-X has with one IPERF3 stream 750Mbit. So what is going wrong with this virtualized Firewall solution.

reduce the MTU in interface and try test again

No fragments on interface visible.
