IPsec VPN Throughput: 5.0 Gbps (1024B TCP fastpath); some sources list 5.5 Gbps (450B UDP L2L)
Max Sessions: 200K concurrent (with AVC)
New Sessions/sec: 35K (Threat Defense software); 175K (ASA software)
Interfaces: 8x 1000BASE-T (10/100/1000 Mbps), no SFP/SFP+ slots
Form Factor: Compact desktop appliance (rack or wall mount with optional kits)
Curation Review
✔ Pros:Compact desktop form factor suits branch offices; 8 integrated Gigabit copper ports with no transceivers required; Up to 6.5 Gbps firewall throughput and 6.0 Gbps threat prevention throughput; Available as 1210CP with 4 PoE+ (802.3at) ports and a 120W PoE budget; Can run either ASA or Threat Defense software; Low power draw (about 32W typical)
✘ Cons:No SFP/SFP+ uplink slots, so fiber connectivity is not possible; Threat Defense new connections per second (35K) is far below the ASA rating (175K); IPsec VPN throughput (about 5.0 Gbps) is modest; TLS decryption limited to 1.0 Gbps; Limited to 200 VPN peers and 5 virtual routing instances
IPsec VPN Throughput: Not published by Ubiquiti; WireGuard/Site-Magic VPN up to 500 Mbps (third-party review, untested method)
Max Sessions: Not published
New Sessions/sec: Not published
Interfaces: 5x 2.5GbE RJ45 (1 WAN + 4 LAN, one LAN port can be remapped to a second WAN)
Form Factor: Compact desktop, 142 x 127 x 30 mm, USB-C 5V/5A power (max 16.1 W)
Curation Review
✔ Pros:2.5GbE WAN and LAN ports on a compact, low-power chassis (max 16.1 W); 512GB built-in NVMe storage on the standard SKU for local UniFi data; Integrated UniFi controller with IDS/IPS and no license or subscription fees; Supports 300+ clients and 30+ UniFi devices; Multi-WAN capable through the remappable LAN port
✘ Cons:Only 1.5 Gbps with IDS/IPS enabled, well below the 2.5 Gbps routing figure; IPsec VPN throughput, session counts and new sessions per second are not published; No PoE output and no built-in Wi-Fi access point; No LAG/LACP support; 500 Mbps VPN throughput is limiting for high-volume site-to-site tunnels
