I would like to know how IPsec makes use of a multi processor machine? I have gateway (FreeBSD 7.0) with four SAs configured. When testing throughput through the configured SAs, I see (with systat) that only one cpu works really hard (+-10% idle min), two others work a bit (+-70% idle min) and the fourth CPU does pretty much nothing. Is this normal, shouldn't at least the two cpus work hard because of the high throughput? I hope i am on the right list. Riaan
