question regards NAT/ACL on CSS11506

[julxu]

I have CSS11506s version 08.10.2.05.

I need make a decision on configure NAT on my CSS, and I would like to know:

1. If the NAT will have negative impact on the CSS performance?

2. If the NAT will cause slow connection between the clients and backend server.

3. Is there any other potential problem regards setup NAT on CSS11506?

Also, will a large ACL list have negative impact on the CSS performance or other problem?

Any comments will be appreciated

Thanks in advance

Generally NAT will take up some resources. There is no special performance impact on CSS11506. It will as good as in other routers.
