Performance
The BayRS implementation of IPsec is slower than the Contivity implementation.
Consider performance when determining which traffic needs IPsec protection. If
perfect forward secrecy (PFS) is unnecessary, disable PFS on the Contivity switch
(PFS is disabled by default on BayRS).
Using DES encryption instead of triple DES encryption may be preferable when
considering a tradeoff between performance and protection. Triple DES
computational requirements for encrypting data are higher than those for DES.
Feature Comparison Summary
This section lists the IPsec features supported by both BayRS and Contivity
platforms and features supported by the BayRS or Contivity platform only.
Features Supported by Both Platforms
The following features are supported by both the BayRS and Contivity
implementations of IPsec:
• IPsec ESP protocol
• IKE preshared keys
• IPsec in tunnel mode
• Perfect forward secrecy
• 3DES key generation by Oakley Group 1
• Vendor ID payload
• Delete Payload for IPsec SAs—sending and receiving
• Delete Payload for IKE SAs—receiving only (Contivity software also
supports sending)
• Static routes
Note:
To disable PFS on the Contivity switch, go to the Profiles > Groups >
IPsec: Configure display.
