When both IP Forwarding and OPC UA communication were activated, the impact on the BMENUA0100 module’s bandwidth were as follows:
Number of monitored OPC UA items per subscription |
IPSec |
Confidentiality |
Forward |
Bandwidth (Kbytes/sec) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
0 |
No |
N/A |
Custom rule |
10600 |
0 |

NOTE: These values are presented only as an example. Use them
as an estimation of the impact of different parameters (IPSEC, Confidentiality,
etc.) on performance. Actual performance depends of your specific
infrastructure.
The impact on bandwidth is displayed when:
All packet forwarding is performed via Custom rule (no Forward All).
OPC UA communication flows are not included (Number of monitored OPC UA items = 0) and included (= 2000).
NOTE: The number of OPC UA monitored items has little impact.
