New VPNC members: Ixia and SnapGear

VPNC is pleased to announce two new members of the consortium.

Ixia
Ixia produces the IxVPN which tests IPsec VPN performance using Ixia's Gigabit Ethernet traffic generators. IxVPN measures key IPsec performance parameters such as the maximum tunnel setup rate, maximum number of simultaneous tunnels that can be sustained, encryption and decryption throughput, and encryption and decryption latency. The IxVPN system can predict application performance across IPsec VPNs and delivers an extensive set of statistics and real-time graphs, both at the per-tunnel and aggregate level.

SnapGear
SnapGear produces VPN Firewall Appliances designed to provide Internet security and privacy of communications for business use. Edge network protection is foremost in SnapGear's product strategy, so all products incorporate dynamic firewalling, anti-intrusion, IPSec peer-to-peer, and PPTP client and server technology. However, with the introduction of PCI-based devices, SnapGear customers can enjoy both exterior and interior network protection. SnapGear also does complete custom engineering solutions including development, design, manufacturing, and fulfillment services.
