Geom_gbde and Hardware Crypto Accelerators
After searching google and the archives I wasn't able to find any current information on the status of hardware cryptographic accelerators (like the Soekris vpn1401) and gbde. Can gbde harness the power of one of these accelerator cards yet? If so do they provide significant offloading from the processor(s)? Any comments on the Soekris vpn1401 card I've been thinking about? Thanks in advance.

I know the authorth was thinking about adding VIA C3/Padlock support, but not sure the details. ---Mike Mike Tancsa, Sentex communications http://www.sentex.net Providing Internet Access since 1994 [EMAIL PROTECTED], (http://www.tancsa.com) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

There is partial support for opencrypto/hifn/vpn1401 in the p4 branch phk_gbde, but it doesn't help very much because of the high setup overhead of the hifn chip. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
