Designing Cisco Network Service Architectures (ARCH, legacy) — Question 27

A network consultant is designing an enterprise network that includes an IPsec headed termination device. Which two capabilities are the most important to consider when assessing the headend devices scalability? (Choose two.)

Answer options

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

The correct answers are B and D because packets per second processing capability indicates how many packets the device can handle efficiently, which is vital for performance under load. The number of tunnels that can be aggregated is also key for scalability, as it determines how many simultaneous connections the headend can support. Options A, C, and E, while important, are not as critical for scalability in this context.
