Cisco VPN Acceleration Module (VAM)IPSec and IPComp Acceleration - Specificaties

The VPN Acceleration Module (VAM) is a single-width acceleration module. The VAM supports LAN/WAN media and full Layer 3 routing services. VAMs provide hardware-assisted tunneling and encryption services for virtual private network (VPN) remote access, site-to-site intranet and extranet applications, including security, quality of service (QoS), firewall and intrusion detection, and service-level validation and management. The VAM off-loads IPSec processing from the main processor to permit resources on the processor engines for other tasks. The VAM provides hardware-accelerated support for multiple encryption functions.\nThe VAM is available as a service adapter (SA-VAM), and as a service module (SM-VAM).
