so old topic was locked and i will open new.

i have two questions.

1. in old topic NORMIS sad that rb1100 with bgp will forward 250 mbps traffic.

Normis can you tell me if this is real? because i am going to install rb1100 in many points.

2.
I have three 250 mbps links in different cities,

i have office in fourth city, i have here 1 gbps link.

in each 200 mbps link there are connected 200 clients.

my task is.

i want to make vpn trough this links, i want to forwared from three 200 mbps links to my office and i will do nat in my office, i want to make local area network.


wich vpn is the best for this task?
and also what other tasks i need to do?

thank you

I would not risk that if I were you, and would rather try out a RB1100AH when it is shipping...
Even then, you might have to overclock it to 1500 MHz, depending on your Firewall and Queue Setup.

Hello
and when it will be shipped?

Thank you

Go with x86,

You have 3 remote site pushing 200mbit each which the RB1100AH might work for depending on how complex your setup is but the main office is going to have 600mbit+ which a RB1100AH wont handle.

Dont ever overclock a core router either, MT ship these unit's with a cpu speed that they feel is most stable, bumping this up is not a good idea

Thank you
what about for 200mbps points, will it work?

It should do ok, Normis posted the results of the RB1100 and with a loaded setup it it could push ~250-350mbit but even with its CPU increase it's highly doubtful that it would triple it's throughput

Well, the only way for sure is to buy one and test it yourself, cause each and everyone of us use different configuration, in firewall, for example some matchers are very CPU demanding, some almost have no effect on CPU (for example IP header option matching should be instant, cause conntrack is doing that by default anyway) .

And in that topic Normis was referring to specific configuration.

I would still keep my routing/BGP and shaping/firewall configurations of dfferent routers. Cause there is no need to route traffic that you are going to drop anyway. And in case your clients get some virus or something and start spamming your closest router (shaper) - your routing will still be intact.
