Feature Description
Introduction of the Cisco ASA
5580
The Cisco ASA 5580 comes in two models:
• The ASA 5580-20 delivers 5 Gigabits per second of TCP traffic and UDP
performance is even greater. Many features in the system have been made multi-core
capable to achieve this high throughput. In addition the system delivers greater than
60,000 TCP connections per second and supports up to 1 million connections.
• The ASA 5580-40 will deliver 10 Gigabits per second of TCP traffic and similar to
ASA 5580-20 the UDP performance will be even greater. The ASA 5580-40 delivers
greater than 120,000 TCP connections per second and up to 2 million connections in
total.
