Question 1 of 30
A company is implementing a site-to-site VPN to securely connect its headquarters to a remote branch office. The network administrator needs to ensure that the VPN can handle a maximum throughput of 500 Mbps while maintaining a latency of less than 50 ms. The VPN will use IPsec with AES-256 encryption. Given that the average packet size is 1500 bytes, calculate the maximum number of packets that can be transmitted per second without exceeding the throughput limit. Which of the following statements best describes the implications of this configuration on the overall network performance and security?
The configuration will allow for efficient data transfer while ensuring strong encryption, but may introduce additional latency due to the encryption overhead.
The configuration will significantly reduce the overall network performance due to the high encryption overhead, making it unsuitable for real-time applications.
The configuration will not meet the throughput requirements, leading to packet loss and degraded performance during peak usage.
The configuration will provide adequate security without impacting performance, as the encryption process is negligible compared to the available bandwidth.
