Abstract

OpenReach, Inc. commissioned The Tolly Group to evaluate version 2.2 of its OpenReach Gateway Software, an IP routing and IPSec software that runs in conjunction with LINUX on Intel computing platforms. The Tolly Group conducted throughput tests of OpenReach gateway’s IP routing and its (paired) IPSec gateway throughput. Zero-loss packet throughput and application throughput tests were conducted using Red Hat LINUX version 6.1 operating system running on either a 1-GHz Pentium III PC or a 500-MHz Celeron platform.
