  • 1.  L2 VPN - Max throughput possible

    Posted Jul 16, 2018 10:43 AM

    Hello,

    i deployed a L2 VPN NSX based extension to one of our customers.

    The connection is a private 10Gbit/s link, latency ~5-10ms (30km).

    I did some iperf throughput tests and never got more than 2-2,5 Gbit.

    I also tried more sessions, with multiple simultanus test VMs.

    But never got over 20-25% of the max possible.

    Both EDGE (Server / Client) server are dedicated for L2.

    Ressources are avaiable.

    Are there any "real world" excperience what i could expect?

    Thank you

    Found the below VMware material & it is mentioned that max throughput  is 2Gbps for L2 VPN

    L2VPN – Tom Fojta's Blog

    The above blog also refers the same.
