Site to Site VPN over 10meg pipe help with speed issues

joneschw1

Hello,

I have a 10 meg pipe between 2 sites, and want to encrypt the traffic as it travels through the pipe. I have 2 2800 series routers to do this. My set up is as follows:

site1 lan(192.168.1.x)

site2 lan(10.83.1.x)

site1 p2p WAN interface 10.254.254.253

site2 p2p WAN interface 10.254.254.254

My problem is when I ping the WAN interface of router 2 (10.254.254.253) from site1 (192.168.1.x) I get reponses of <1ms. When I ping from site 1 (192.168.1.x) to site 2 (10.83.1.x) I am getting reponses of 3ms. I know that is b/c I am encrypting that traffic, but it seems that I shouldn't have a 300% increase. My relevant configs for both routers are below. Any help in speeding things up would be greatly appreciated.

Are you experiencing IP fragmentation? i had a similar problem with a gre/ipsec tunnel between an ASA5500 and an 1800 Router. Was running at a snails pace until we changed the MTU to 1440 in line with the Cisco doc http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk827/tk369/technologies_white_paper09186a00800d6979.shtml . once the MTU was changed, fragmentation stopped and the tunnel was significantly faster (although remote end users had problems accessing some websites like Hotmail, MSN until we changed their PC MTU to match the tunnel).
