I used 3des and now that you have mentioned it, I should have included
AH too or at least enabled authentication in ESP. But I was more
interested in stress testing than functional testing and only included
the performance numbers for the heck of it. I believe when we did
functional testing we did try both, 3des for ESP and sha1 for AH. But I
have not yet tried AES algorithm for ESP. 

I will try this again (performance run, not stress testing) later with
authentication enabled and with ESP-3des, ESP-aes, and send results to
list as an FYI.
