It really depends on a lot of factors, including the router model, the hardware accelerator used, and in some case which processing engine is used in the router. It can be hard to find comprehensive performance numbers for all combinations of hardware and protocols, but in general DES and AES are a bit faster than 3DES. Here are some links to various pages at Cisco that describe most of the options: <http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/routers/ps259/products_data_sheet09186a0080088750.html> <http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/modules/ps2957/prod_bulletin09186a00800886d9.html> <http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/modules/ps2957/products_data_sheet09186a0080092121.html> <http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/vpndevc/ps342/products_data_sheet09186a0080091ffd.html> <http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/modules/ps2706/products_data_sheet09186a00800c4fe2.html> HTH - Good luck!
