So in order to also test the throughput, I've put my OpenRD under load: | stress -c 2 -i 2 -m 2 --vm-bytes 64MB and ran the tests again: chunksize af_alg cryptodev (100 * cryptodev / af_alg) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 512 0.618 MB/s 1.14 MB/s 184 % 1024 1.258 MB/s 2.28 MB/s 181 % 2048 2.453 MB/s 4.39 MB/s 179 % 4096 4.540 MB/s 7.76 MB/s 171 % 8192 7.981 MB/s 11.67 MB/s 146 % 16384 12.543 MB/s 14.08 MB/s 112 % 32768 13.139 MB/s 14.46 MB/s 110 % 65536 14.254 MB/s 15.55 MB/s 109 % So that means cryptodev-linux is superior in throughput as well as latency, right? Or is it the lower latency of the interface causing the higher throughput?
