Hi all

Could anyone say what the differences are between the 857 and 877
routers? We have up till now used the 837 router and PC World Business
have said the 857 was the replacement, but on looking at the Cisco
website they are saying the 877 is the replacement for the 837.

The main thing we need from the new routers are the ability to have a
site-to-site VPN between head office, and two remote sites, possibly a
3rd, and also 4 or 5 remote users using a VPN client. Hard to say how
many remote users could be connected at the one time.

Thanks

Ewan.

so.. in short..
850 has ~10Kpps and ~5Mbps throughput of cleartext CEF (meaning that
the 851 can't handle a 10Mbit WAN connection.. not even close)
870 has ~25Kpps and ~13Mbps throughput of cleartext CEF
850 has 5 concurrent vpn sessions supported with 8Mbps of forwarding @
3des .. seems odd given the other stated numbers but that's what they
say..
870 has 10 concurrent vpn sessions supported with 30Mbps of forwarding
@ 3des

also 850 has no IPS or NAC support..

soo.. 850 is a ghetto version of 870.. if it's got the juice you need
make sure you get it for a very good price, otherwise i'd recommend
the 870 series for you.

oh yeah.. i forgot to mention that the "stated" VPN performance
numbers are bull***.. the cleartext one's are the numbers to look
at.. i got the numbers of cisco's portable product sheets for vpn and
they are quite obviously bogus.. i added them merely for comical
relief.. ;-)
