it depends on your ssl key size, too. The specs are only for 2k keys. If you use 4k keys, the ssl performance is about 30% of 2k keys for the 4200v. So, you have to think about the future.

 

Hardware ssl is allways included ;-)

    Thanks for your answer. Ok, Hardware SSL is always included but not inevitably use ? In this case, I must consider the TPS parameter ?
