Line-rate MACsec Encryption at 1.2 Tbps Throughput
An architectural evaluation of ACR-9000 Pro routers maintaining deterministic sub-microsecond latency under stress.
MVMarcus VanceJuly 28, 2026
Encryption should never force critical financial traffic onto a slow path. We evaluate the forwarding architecture used to preserve deterministic latency as encrypted throughput approaches 1.2 Tbps.
Test Profile
The evaluation combines minimum-size packets, rotating keys, and simultaneous telemetry export to expose contention that ordinary throughput benchmarks miss.
