Abstract:
We study transmission delays on an IP router caused by security and address translation mechanisms. Using~a high-precision device for traffic generation and measurements and~a simulated topology of two hundred end systems, we test three mechanisms of the following types: Access Control Lists, Intrusion Prevention Systems and Network Address Translation. As we show, in some cases the delay changes only a little bit, when the mechanism is turned on. In most cases however, the impact of the mentioned mechanisms is non-negligible and may increase the delay ten times in worst-case scenarios.
