Vigor2955 is a broadband router with dual-WAN interface. It provides policy-based
load-balance, fail-over and BoD (Bandwidth on Demand), also it integrates IP layer QoS,
NAT session/bandwidth management to help users control works well with large
bandwidth.
By adopting hardware-based VPN platform, hardware encryption of AES/DES/3DS and
hardware key hash of SHA-1/MD5, the router increases the performance of VPN greatly,
and offers several protocols (such as IPSec/PPTP/L2TP) with up to 200 VPN tunnels.
The object-originated design used in SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection) firewall allows
users to set firewall policy with ease. CSM (Content Security Management) provides
users control and management in IM (Instant Messenger) and P2P (Peer to Peer) more
efficiency than before. By the way, DoS/DDoS prevention and URL/Web content filter.
In addition, Vigor2955 supports USB interface for connecting USB printer to share
printer or 3G USB Modem for accessing Internet.
