Very thanks for Julien Pierre answer. I use webload 6.0 to do full SSL handshakes,SSL session can't reuse,and key size=1024bit. Could you offer us the name of SSL hardware accelerator cards which are often used(test in nss)?
The latest one I have used in my testing earlier this year is the Sun Crypto Accelerator 1000, which does over 1000 RSA ops/s at 1024 bits. You'll want at least a quad CPU server to be able to take full advantage of such a card.
Sun also sells the SCA4000, which does 4000 ops/s at 1024 bits. Some benchmarks were done where it was possible to peak the card from one server with NSS a couple years ago, but that was done by a different group. I do remember the hardware used being pretty beefy (12+ CPUs), but not the specifics . I think some SPECWEB SSL results were made public with that config and at the time NSS with the Netscape/Sun web server had the performance lead.
