In Tolly Group tests, “the ADTRAN NetVanta 3430 demonstrated ample processing headroom to handle QoS and security services while constantly providing wire-speed throughput for most packet sizes tested. The router market is full of products designed to operate at wire speed under optimal conditions, but that sag under processing loads when security and other services are enabled contend for available processor cycles. In the real world, routers with wire speed should also perform well even when handling the overhead associated with security services such as IPSec VPNs, firewalls and other security and network services.”

NetVanta 3430 outperforms Cisco and Nortel

NetVanta 3430 outperforms Cisco 1841/Cisco 2811 routers in Layer 3 Ethernet zero-loss throughput, achieving up to double the performance of competing devices tested with firewall and VPN enabled. The ADTRAN NetVanta 3430 router demonstrated ample processing headroom to handle security services while simultaneously offering wire-speed throughput for all packet sizes.

In fact, the NetVanta 3430 delivered, on average, 86% greater throughput than the Cisco 1841, and 98% more throughput than the Cisco 2811 with both firewall and VPN services enabled. The combination of wire-speed throughput and toll-quality voice makes the NetVanta 3430 a strategic option for users deploying converged services networks that require the balance of performance and voice quality. When tested over a dual T1 scenario supporting multilink PPP, the NetVanta 3430 was the only device tested to return 100% of Layer 3 zero-loss throughput for the packet sizes tested.
