- All performance tests are based upon maximum memory configuration and base model port configuration (no port expansion). Throughput measurements are based upon maximum bidirectional traffic across all available ports.
- Basic Traffic (Primarily Data Download): iPerf3 traffic is TCP – 1460 byte payload and TCP framing.
- Complex Traffic (Voice, Data, Video): Simple IMIX traffic is sets of 7 (40) byte packets, (4) 576 byte packets, 1 (1500) byte packets, plus Ethernet framing overhead.
- 7100 performance number exceeds that of the 1537/41, as all tests were run by maximizing throughput across available base model physical ports (7100 with 10 ports vs. 1537/41 with only 4 ports). The 1537/41 exceed the 7100 by per-port performance.
- 1537 with TNSR software (v20.02), configured with 1 CPU worker for iperf3 traffic and 2 CPU workers for IMIX traffic for IPsec performance tests.
- 1541 with TNSR software (v20.02), configured with 1 CPU worker for iperf3 traffic and 2 CPU workers for IMIX traffic for IPsec performance tests.
