Instance Size
Instance Size is the gateway instance size.
When selecting the gateway instance size, use the following guidelines of IPsec performance based on IPERF tests conducted between two gateways of the same size.
For additional guidance on gateway sizing, refer to the Gateway Sizing Best Practices Guide.
If you need IPsec performance beyond 2Gbps, refer to ActiveMesh HPE Performance Benchmark. |

Gateway Resize
You can change gateway instance size, if needed, to change gateway throughput. The gateway instance will restart with a different instance size.
