VPN Performance - PIX 515 R

[n.oneill]

I am trying to find out VPN performance statistics for the PIX 515 R but I'm not having much luck.

I need to know how many similtaneous VPN sessions (IPSec) the PIX 515 R will support and the actual amount of bandwidth it can handle running either DES or 3DES. Does anyone know where I can get this information?

I would be interested in seeing this sort of information for the whole range of PIX products/VPN products and router products.

Thanks in advance.

You might want to take a look at these: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/cc/pd/fw/sqfw500/index.shtml and http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/784/packet/jan01/p75-cover-sidebar.html The 3DES numbers I got from Cisco are 506, 9Mbps/400 conns; 515, 11Mbps/125,000 conns; 525, 70Mbps/280,000 conns; 535 95Mbps/500,000 conns. These numbers are all without the accelerator card.
