The table in this section lists the results of performance tests for VpnGw SKUs. A VPN tunnel connects to a VPN gateway instance. Each instance throughput is mentioned in the throughput table in the previous section and is available aggregated across all tunnels connecting to that instance. The table shows the observed bandwidth and packets per second throughput per tunnel for the different gateway SKUs. All testing was performed between gateways (endpoints) within Azure across different regions with 100 connections and under standard load conditions. We used publicly available iPerf and CTSTraffic tools to measure performances for site-to-site connections
- The best performance was obtained when we used the GCMAES256 algorithm for both IPsec Encryption and Integrity.
- Average performance was obtained when using AES256 for IPsec Encryption and SHA256 for Integrity.
- The lowest performance was obtained when we used DES3 for IPsec Encryption and SHA256 for Integrity.
