I've been doing some experiments with IPSec between some FreeBSD hosts and have been quite disappointed by performance. I've followed the howto at Daemon News and experimented with a few different algorithms but I can't seem to get more than about 5MB/sec over the wire. Both machines are Dell 1650s connected via a crossover cable on their GB ethernet ports. Non-encrypted speed is around the 30MB/sec mark. Is this performance level normal ? What options do I have to increase speed ? Which algorithsm are the best to use for highest performance ? Greatest security ? Entry-level documentation on this topic seems to be fairly thin on the ground - does anyone have any links to intro/howto stuff on IPSec ? -- +- Christopher Smith, Systems Administrator ------------------------------+ | Server & Security Group, Information Technology Services | | The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia, 4072 | +- Ph +61 7 3365 4046 | email csmith@its.uq.edu.au | Fax +61 7 3365 4065 -+ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
