| - | Notice that the reference device (IBM x3550-M3) used in front of the Netgate has a [[IPSec performance lab of an IBM System x3550 M3 with Intel 82580|equilibrium throughput of 843Mb/s]]. Then if the value measured during this bench is close to 843Mb/s we had to found a more powerful reference device. | ||
