The main issue isn't the speed of the=20 > crypto part but the bus+dma glue. And also stability. I've experience system crashing with the soekris vpn140= 1. It was kinda strange. Existing things worked (like an opened ssh connect, the box = is a gateway), but I couldn't even fork() new processes, use apache, open new ssh connecti= ons to the box, anything. And the interrupt load was also a bit too high. Anyways, it'= s a different issue. Silicom has drivers for both windows and linux, and they support AES. I was= n't able to download the driver (got an empty page), so I don't know whether its openso= urce or not. Sincerely, Gergely Czuczy mailto: gergely.czuczy@harmless.hu --=20 Weenies test.
