Anyway some work to do: 1) You (we) would have to define some standard tests (paket size, size distribution, ...), some defined testbed, ... 2) Write a bunch of scripts that conduct the standardtized tests. 3) Have a website that people can deliver results to. 4) Add tests for IPsec encryption. I did some tests for VIA Eden processor: https://sys4.de/en/blog/2013/09/21/openssl-performance-eden-padlock/ https://sys4.de/en/blog/2013/09/21/ipsec-performance-eden-padlock/ Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Michael Schwartzkopff -- [*] sys4 AG http://sys4.de, +49 (89) 30 90 46 64, +49 (162) 165 0044 Franziskanerstraße 15, 81669 München Sitz der Gesellschaft: München, Amtsgericht München: HRB 199263 Vorstand: Patrick Ben Koetter, Marc Schiffbauer Aufsichtsratsvorsitzender: Florian Kirstein
