I could be off here...but I believe the accelerator card only helps the cpu
intense part of encrypting/decrypting traffic.  You would still be limited
to internet speed which involves amount of traffic between endpoints, etc.
Maximum would be 128K unless you have alot of traffic going through that can
be compressed.  In that case that traffic can go faster than 128K but most
files that can be compressed on the fly with noticable difference are
uncompressed files such as .bmp, .txt, comma delimited files, etc.

 lets say we have 2 cisco 1720 with vpn accelerator card and both have a

  what would be the speed of the tunnel

He said both had 64K connection to the internet.  And on my ISDN I have 128K
but about 20-30% of the time I get more than that with data compression.
Try downloading a really big .bmp file sometime  watch 56K download at like
100K...rofl.  It works ;)

 I'm not exactly sure where the 128k came into play but you are right
about end point to endpoint. If either of the ends tops out at 64k, then the
throughput will only be 64k.  Regardless of compression/and or vpn
acceleration.

RE: vpn speed [7:13499]

2001-07-24 Thread Chuck Larrieu

the line speed is ALWAYS 64K

yes you can use compression, and the net result end to end of user data MAY
be higher. but the line itself can only transmit 64kbps

subtle difference. some data formats lend themselves well to compression.
gifs and jpegs and text, for example. I have seen pdf reduce word docs by as
much as 90% zipping files can result in compression of anywhere from 50-80%
depending on the source. on the other hand, it is possible for compression
to increase the size of the data file.

but in all cases, your 64K data link can not transmit more than 64K bits per
second.

RE: vpn speed [7:13499]

2001-07-24 Thread Ayers, Michael

This is correct, VPN, depending on what features are implemented, can add
significant size to packets.  Cisco sets the default Payload size for IPSec
on the PIX to 1380 to make up for the fact that there can be IPSec headers
close to 120 bytes.

I have VPN running over 56k dialup, and it performs rather well.  It's not
the fastest, but it is functional.  My users say it's about as fast as
dialing in /w/ 28000 RAS

RE: vpn speed [7:13499]

2001-07-24 Thread Stephen Skinner

Chaps,

i`m sorry i have to butt in here ...

the young man in question did say he had TWO 64k links .giving him an 
aggreagte of 128k...

also i have to agree and disagree( it not easy bieng me you know) about the 
line speed 

yes with Dial you only get 64k and that`s it but i HAVE downloaded files a 
LOT FASTER than that..

let me explain .

at 5am on wednesdsay morning i, on my dial-up started to download a 
fileTo my utter surprise the file download box was saying 100k a second 
(that is of course impossible)..it then slowed to a hum-drum 30k a second 
.download time 8 mins.

i tryed the same file again at 6pm (deleted original by mistake... DOH) and 
this time i got a lesuirely 5k per sec download time 40mins..

I can`t (be bothered to) explain it ...

but it just goes to show ..never believe the download box ...

 the truth is out there...STOP THE SERIES...IT`S NOT THE SAME WITHOUT 
THEM

steve who`s that behind me  skinner
