Throughput was measured using ASA CX Software Release 9.1.1 with multiprotocol traffic profile with both AVC and WSE.
Traffic logging was enabled as well.

PN throughput and sessions count depend on the ASA device configuration and VPN traffic patterns. These elements should be
taken into consideration as part of your capacity planning.
