Router Product Overview
Of the Cisco VPN solutions, their IOS-based routing platforms provide the most options to choose from. Because the Cisco product line for routers changes quite often, I’ve decided that in this chapter, I’ll focus not on any particular router model, but will provide a brief comparison between the various models.
Table 15-1 shows a comparison of the various router models. Please note that some routers support hardware encryption via an add-on encryption card or module, and that there might be a few modules or cards to choose from for a particular router platform (the table lists the fastest encrypting module for each platform).
