PIX 535: Concurrent VPN session limit?

[drumrb0y]

This should be an easy stat to look up, but I've had a difficult time finding a hard fact sheet on this:

- How many concurrent VPN Client logins and static tunnels are allowed on a PIX 535 running 6.3.4 PIX OS, before performance is degraded or a limitation is reached?

This PIX has a memory upgrade up to 1GB RAM, so I think it would be more of a design limitation before it would be a performance degradation.

Thx in advance,

Marc

Thanks;

I had seen this data sheet, but my manager wanted a 'second opinion' to be sure, so thanks for the info!
