FireBrick IPsec Throughput

On a FB 2700, throughput should be around 10 - 15Mb/s.

Here is a speedtest from a Road Warrior on a good internet connection connected to a FB2700 on a single 60Mb/s down and 20Mb/s up FTTC, using HMAC-SHA1

A FB6000 can do nearer 50Mb/s, whilst newer generation of FireBrick hardware should be even better.
