Doesn't the 2800 have higher limits? It just has slower throughput.

Well the ASA can handle through-put of up to 300 Mbps<br />
<br />
I believe a 2811 is more like 61 Mbps (correct me if im wrong) through put. The 2811 is a T1 router and is not ment for high throughput speeds but it is versatile in the sence that you can connect it to any type of internet connection ( T1, ADSL, Ethernet) but for performance and reliability and security, the ASA is your choice.

Situation: Web application, all HTTPS/SSL traffic. Multiple Site-to-Site IPSEc VPN connections. Need redundancy.<br />
<br />
Would you suggest an ASA or 2800? Our hardware vendor is recommending the ASA 5510. I don't exactly think that will do the job of a router/firewall very well. We are on a budget. Would you just set up 2x2811 or do 2xASA-5510.<br />

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.

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.

Routers

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.
