MX 250 Throughput

[ManinderNegi]

Dear All,

I am planning to purchase MX 250 firewall for my customer but what does below means

1. Statefull firewall throughput (4Gbps)

2. Advanced security throughput (2Gbps)

3. Maximum site to site VPN throughput (1Gbps)

1. MX250 will be able to handle (up to) 4 Gbps of "regular" firewall traffic (without IPS and AMP)

2. If you're using advanced features like IDS / IPS / AMP, thorughput will drop (up to) 2 GBPS

3. VPN throughput will be (up to ) 1 Gbps

Thanks for the Swift response.

So if I am going to configure the VPN tunnels only on MX device without using the IDS/IPS/AMP features, in that case also the MX throughput will be limited to 1Gbps.

Any Idea what will be throughput if MX device is having both VPN tunnels and IPS/IDS features?
