I think it is obvious that a benchmark of throughput measures throughput. If however, you think that AF_ALG is in disadvantage in this benchmark, because it is a high latency interface, you're free to propose and perform another one. I haven't seen anywhere how is this interface was supposed to be used, nor about its qualities (high latency, maybe(?) high throughput or so). Thus, I designed this benchmark with a use-case in mind, i.e., a TLS or DTLS tunnel executing in a system with such an accelerator. There might be other benchmarks with other use cases in mind, but I haven't seen any. regards, Nikos _______________________________________________ Cryptodev-linux-devel mailing list Cryptodev-linux-devel@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/cryptodev-linux-devel
