Cisco RV340 Dual WAN Gigabit VPN Router Performance Evaluation

Abstract

Small businesses can have big needs when it comes to network throughput. Cisco Systems realizes that and designed its RV340 Dual WAN Gigabit VPN Router to deliver a range of connectivity options and to deliver Gigabit throughput across NAT and IPsec connections.

Cisco Systems commissioned Tolly to evaluate its Cisco RV340 Dual WAN Gigabit VPN Router in both single device and paired router configurations. Tests evaluated the Layer 3 NAT throughput of a single router and the throughput across an IPsec VPN tunnel between a pair of routers. Additionally, tests benchmarked the Layer 4 throughput of the device.

The Cisco RV340 delivered up to 99% of theoretical throughput across Gigabit Ethernet in a NAT configuration, up to 95% across an IPsec VPN tunnel and approximately 975Mbps HTTP download speed in Layer 4 testing.
