    Hardware Reference PCI Accelerator Cards (PACs) PCI Accelerator Cards (PACs) provide additional processing features or performance, but do not add extra physical interfaces to the router. A PAC can be installed in the dedicated PAC slot on AT-AR725 and AT-AR745 routers. The AR750S, AR750S-DP, and AR770S routers have an inbuilt high performance encryption processor, and therefore do not have a PAC slot.

  • Page 49 Hardware Reference opportunity at finding non-random data, compression occurs before encryption, in the order: compression → encryption →//→ decryption → decompression Adding compression to an encrypted link increases line throughput. Once compression has been carried out there is less data requiring encryption, passing back to the base system, and transferring across the network, so less base system bus and network link bandwidth is required for a given amount of data.
