Well, having worked with the Netscreen Firewall products, I find it interesting that you feel its your bottle neck. Take a look at the architecture you've outlined:
PC--->NetScreen--->Cable Modem----> VPN Gateway (what type of gateyway is this?)---->Internet. The short answer here is that anytime you add security devices to a traffic flow especially when cipher-decipher takes place, you'll take a performance hit. That's the price we pay (though things are improving dramatically!) for privacy. NetScreens traditionally are quite fast devices and though the 5X is a smaller appliance its still quite good.

Also, if you place your PC behind the NS and access internet, what's the path of your traffic? Simply PC-> FW-> cable modem-> Internet OR PC-> FW( VPN gateway ) -> cable modem -> VPN gateway -> Internet? BUT you mentioned 3DES, if NS is just using as a Firewall, encryption (3DES and VPN) should not cause your problem. rgds, ivan Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=62500&t=62461 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
