What is the minimum supported internet speed for a client to establish an AnyConnect session

[KeithHontz1580]

We have a few clients with slower connections and are experiencing severe workability issues.

What is the slowest recommended ISP speed that will successfully allow a functional connection. 

Understanding that faster is always better but some people live in areas where highspeed is not available so we are trying to set a standard for minimum acceptable speeds for Work From Home.

Any guidance or recommendations would be appreciated.

Most ISP offer nowadays decent speed, you can connect to VPN slowest link like 512kbps also I do not see any issue connection point of view. the question is application support requirement changes.

I don't think using AnyConnect would add any complexity here. I think the slow connectivity issue is regardless if the users are connected through VPN or not. One thing I would recommend in this case if you are not already doing it would be to use AnyConnect SSL VPN rather than IKE since it is faster.

Our higher ups were looking for a baseline to establish since some that are experiencing slowness blame it on the systems and when you have literally hundreds of connections not being impacted I didn't know if there was a recommended minimum.

There's no recommended minimum for AnyConnect to work. It can literally be usable on an old 56 kbps modem over a dial up telephone line should one be available.

Various applications have minimums - for instance Microsoft recommends at least 1.2 Mbps for Teams, Zoom requires 800kbps/1.0 Mbps (up/down), WebEx 2 Mbps etc.
