    Max Performance

    To create the maximum number of High Performance Encryption (HPE) tunnels for the Spoke-to-Transit attachment, set the toggle to On.

    • Max Performance option is valid when both the Spoke and Transit gateways are launched with HPE enabled and are in the same cloud type.

    • The number of tunnels that are created depends on the gateway instance sizes.

    • If Max Performance is Off, only one tunnel is created (even when HPE is enabled for both Spoke and Transit Gateway).
