Title: Is there a limit on the number of VPNs?
Post by: tokerau on September 27, 2005, 04:17:23 PM

Is there a limit on the number of VPNs coming into SME?

I was able to enter just about any number in the VPN field on the server panel, but I'm curious how many it will actually handle.

Is it limited only by the hardware configuration, or does the server have a hard limit?

Thanks for the info.

Jim

SME allocates IP's for the VPN sessions from the top of the IP range set for the internal network so a practical limit is the # of available IP's; the bandwidth required would also limit the usability.

The grunt of the server would also contribute due to the encryption load per VPN session.

Might be some others but thats all I can think of now :-)
