Looking for new routers for FIOS Gig with emphasis on VPN Throughput
So today I have been looking at catapult gridftp and some others. Some are very costly. Some are very complex. I feel like I'm missing something that's obvious, but maybe not. So wouldn't it be great if I could find a copy program (let's call it MCOPY) that would open multiple streams to... -

Looking for new routers for FIOS Gig with emphasis on VPN Throughput
After reading a few more iperf thread I tried using the -P option which will open multiple streams to send data. So from my computer at work I did iperf -c 192.168.0.101 -P 3 (101 being my NAS on the other side of the vpn), and it fully saturated the line, 890 mbps. So what's that telling me... -

I have to ignore that result. I tried it again and what ever value I set the -b to it would display that in gb's not even sending anything over the interface. -b 8000m would report back 8 gigabits. So now we are sticking with TCP. To your point about single threaded transfers. From my work... -

Guys, First, thank you for lending your knowledge and support to my issue. I'm learning a lot as I go along here. I'm not stuck on UDP for my testing I just wanted to report that I got a much different results using that command line on iperf. It was the first time I saw anything close to... -

Looking for new routers for FIOS Gig with emphasis on VPN Throughput
Big result!!! I was having a hard time adjusting the MSS in my command line (I think it has to be done with an environment variable in windows) BUT I was looking at some other websites and came across a iperf syntax that I tried. The result is windows pc at home to windows pc at work (across... -

Looking for new routers for FIOS Gig with emphasis on VPN Throughput
I will, but with my windows copy speeds of only 35-38 (peaking at 40 after some NIC tuning) I'm only seeing 320 mbps of throughput when the tunnel is actually capable of pushing 800+ mbps (measured). The CPU is only running up to 14-16% during these transfers so I'm wondering where it's all... -

Looking for new routers for FIOS Gig with emphasis on VPN Throughput
So tonight I was able to install the other Dell 7010 and get it configured. Here is a copy of the post I made from the pfSense forums: Hoping we can add to the discussion and come up with some ideas on how to improve machine to machine speed. So I've been posting over the past few weeks about... -

Looking for new routers for FIOS Gig with emphasis on VPN Throughput
I figured there had to be "special sauce" in the checkpoint systems in order to produce some of the speeds they report on their spec sheets. Thing is, I even tried my ipsec/vpn tests using their software and still got way below the rated speeds. Not just a little, but more like 75% less than... -

Looking for new routers for FIOS Gig with emphasis on VPN Throughput
I am convinced that you can NOT achieve what I am looking to do (ipsec vpn site to site) at line speeds with anything less than Intel core processor iron. I would love, love to have a non pc solution, something that works off of a 12v brick, an appliance, but everything I've learned (and I... -

Looking for new routers for FIOS Gig with emphasis on VPN Throughput
I went with used Dell Optiplex 7010 Sff (small form factor). A fairly small box. I7-3770 4gb ram, and I put a laptop hdd in for now. Staying away from ssd on pfsense until I explore the whole "embeded" thing which wasn't obvious to me on the latest version. I paired that with a 4 port intel... -

Looking for new routers for FIOS Gig with emphasis on VPN Throughput
Well, I've changed my mind. Went the pfSense route and have already got my two sites up and running on $180.00 small form factor i7-3700. I'm waiting for the 2nd box to come in, but I'm already getting iperf results firewall to firewall across the internet of 900+ mbps. As soon as I get the... -

Looking for new routers for FIOS Gig with emphasis on VPN Throughput
I'm pretty sure I'll be buying 2 ER-4's as soon as they hit the market. I'll be testing mostly for overall firewall throughput (now that i have gig FIOS), and ipsec/vpn throughput. Those are my 2 big wants. For a 400 dollar investment if I can get anything over 600 mbps on ipsec vpn i'll... -

Looking for new routers for FIOS Gig with emphasis on VPN Throughput
Well, I did some extensive testing today. Putting a i7 and an i5 on pfSense (connected via gig switch) and turning on AES-NI I was basically able to get line speed ipsec/vpn between the two firewalls on iperf testing. Firewall to firewall (lan to lan across ipsec/vpn) on iperf 893 Mbps Laptop... -

This is a copy of a post I made over on CPUG.COM about my Checkpoint 680's. Since I see there is a lot of knowledgeable people here I figured I'd share in case anyone had and comments. Thanks. This week I upgraded both sides (work & home) to FIOS gigabit internet. It's supposed to top out... -

Looking for new routers for FIOS Gig with emphasis on VPN Throughput
Thanks for the info. I'm leery that any "appliance" device, passively cooled will perform well on a ipsec/vpn gig connection. It does not appear that the Cavium has any special AES acceleration capabilities for encryption processing. I'm a little tainted by the wildly inaccurate figures that... -

Looking for new routers for FIOS Gig with emphasis on VPN Throughput
The 4600 is definitely slower even know the spec sheets show wildly big numbers. I think it's a Pentium dual core cpu without AES-NI. I'm assuming in order to handle anything along the lines of what I'm looking for I'd need AES-NI cpu at very least. I think the first CP box that has a AES-NI... -

Looking for new routers for FIOS Gig with emphasis on VPN Throughput
So I'm going to do some more testing. I've got a checkpoint 4600 that I've put pfSense on and I'm going to VPN it to my computer (i7) which will run pfsense as well. I'll be able to get some "lab" testing out of that as I assume the CP box will be the slower of the 2 in that test. If I can... -

I just upgraded both sides of my work-to-home network link to FIOS Gigabit. Previously had been 150/150 at home and 75/75 at work but now both will big FIOS Gig. Was using Checkpoint 680 appliances with IPSEC/VPN. Did the job well. iperf3 testing across the link showed full 75 mbit speeds... -

Multi-SSID with Multi-Schedule...
To follow-up on my original post. I had just purchased an engenius ECB1750 for our office. Turns out this one has the ability to schedule on/off for individual SSID's. That was a surprise. Roveer- Roveer
