Note: Throughput (IMIX, IMIX/IPSec) values in the table are reference-only values for each VNF, and are based on testing performed by Equinix in conjunction with RFC 2544 standards. Results may vary based on additional conditions and variables. Throughput values will be limited with applied license type. The values should not be considered as guaranteed throughput.
