Can you say what the "irrelevant" i386 machine is? Lots of difference

those numbers fit in.
The i386 results were sent to me off-list, so I don't know the processor details. "It's fast" will have to suffice. To put it in perspective, my fastest Intel systems report:

Xeon 3.00GHz
aes-128-cbc  56117.94k  59781.24k  62908.69k  63702.29k  63485.95k

aes-128-cbc  64935.33k  71725.72k  74294.15k  75431.37k  75419.89k
My fastest:
cpu0: AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 246, 1994.63 MHz
cpu1: AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 246, 1994.32 MHz
type         16 bytes   64 bytes   256 bytes   1024 bytes   8192 bytes

While that's *more* than fast enough for common tasks, the SBC + VIA PadlockACE numbers you gave whip the pants off it for anything > 16 bytes.

Well, you should also consider bytes/watt :)

Those are very impressive numbers.
What are you getting through these gateways?
What is the net usable throughput client PCs on either end are able to exchange over the VPN?
