So it's probaply not really comparable to the pcrypt version. To compare the pcrypt version, we would need a thread based padata version. If you think that it is needed I could care about this as soon as I finished the ahash work. Anyway, here are numbers for the network based versions: I did forwarding tests with the thread version and two quad core machines (Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600): linux-2.6.25.2 + thread based (network) parallelization Packetsize: 1420 byte Encryption: aes192-sha1 Unidirectional throughput: 660 Mbit/s (tcp) After rewriting this to use remote softirqs I've got with the same environment: linux-2.6-git (Dec 01, 2008) + softirq based (network) parallelization Packetsize: 1420 byte Encryption: aes192-sha1 Unidirectional throughput: 910 Mbit/s (tcp) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-crypto" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
