The manufacturer lists 1 Gbps VPN throughput under its test conditions. Actual performance depends on encryption, packet sizes, inspection services and concurrent traffic, so capacity planning should use the workload expected in the installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesign the Failure Response Deliberately\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne hardware bypass pair and high-availability functions provide options for a planned failure response. Bypass behaviour can affect which security functions remain in the traffic path.
