We have a VPN connection between offices.<br />
<br />
I have tested connection speeds from one site to another and got different results. &nbsp;My question is, what percentage of a full bandwidth connection does a typical VPN connection operate at (in comparison to the full bandwidth it's running on)?<br />
<br />
For instance, if I have a internet connection setup at my remote location that is said to operate 512k and a VPN connection sent through that, what percentage of the full bandwith is the VPN said to running at typically?<br />
<br />
512k bandwith = 100% bandwidth<br />
VPN Connection runs at 63k = 12.3% bandwidth of the 100%(512k) connection.<br />
<br />
Is that a TYPICAL percentage for the VPN to run at? &nbsp;or should it be like 25% or more? &nbsp; &nbsp;or less???

Typical VPN Speed Percentages.

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.
