This throughput ceiling requires resilient architectures that static configurations cannot support effectively for enterprise workloads." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "How many inbound routes does a virtual private gateway cap?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Static configurations cap your inbound route advertisements at merely 100 paths on a virtual private gateway. This hard ceiling severely restricts complex hybrid cloud designs compared to dynamic options." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Does dynamic routing support tunnel aggregation for higher bandwidth?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Dynamic BGP routing supports ECMP tunnel aggregation to maximize bandwidth rather than idling backup links. This allows simultaneous use of multiple tunnels to reach the 1.25 Gbps throughput potential." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Why is manual intervention a risk with static VPN setups?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Static VPN setups often demand human action on the on-premises gateway when a tunnel fails. This creates unacceptable downtime windows that dynamic routing eliminates through automatic detection mechanisms." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "What specific packet rate do dynamic configurations support for enterprises?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Dynamic configurations support a packet processing rate of 140,000 packets per second for enterprise workloads.
