The key issue here is, how many sessions are estimated? Linux box plus its hardware can only take so much, since encryption/decryption are processor-intensive, so you might have a drop in link throughput - so size the box carefully.

This is wat usually happens.......nd a rough estimate comes thro hours of deployment/management of these boxen. If some firsthand info would b available.....it would make more sense to the amateurs like theone who asked the question.
