Virtual Private Network Modules
 for the
Cisco 1700, 2600, 3600, and 3700 Series
The Cisco 1700, 2600, 3600, and 3700 Series Router Virtual Private Network Modules
(VPN Modules) optimize the platforms for virtual private networks (VPNs).
The Cisco 1700, 2600, 3600, and 3700 Series VPN Modules provide up to 10 times the
performance over software-only encryption by offloading the encryption processing from the
router central processing unit (CPU). Ideal for use in enterprise branch offices for connecting
remote offices, mobile users, and partner extranets or service provider managed-services
customer premises equipment (CPE), the Cisco 1700, 2600, 3600, and 3700 Series VPN
Modules delivers a rich integrated package of routing, firewall, intrusion-detection, and
VPN functions. As an integral component of Cisco VPN solutions, the Cisco 1700, 2600,
3600, and 3700 Series VPN Modules provide industry-standard encryption (IPSec),
application-aware quality of service (QoS) and bandwidth management, together with robust
perimeter security options.
