Adam, Given the 21Mbps figure I quoted, 100x (2.1Gbps) would be an unrealistic expectation. Based on the discussion here: https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!msg/beagleboard/ZFrCs9ZHCP4/aCNFejgXpxYJ perhaps 3-4x at 1500 (1420) byte frame sizes, and (as a guess), closer to 3, given the PPs rates

It does not. The c2758 SoC is interesting. 8 cores, and the on-die i354 is essentially a block with 4 i350s on it. These have 8 queues for each of rx and tx, so 16 each, for a total of 64 queues. On the c2xxx series (and other) boxes we ship, we increase certain tunables, because we know what

Jim, Asking you to speculate here... Assuming someone *is* working on drivers for the chip's crypto capabilities, when that finally happens, do you have any notion of how much faster IPsec will get? Are we talking 2x or 100x? -Adam On January 25, 2017 7:45:49 PM CST, Jim Thompson

Steve, It currently does 21mbps IPsec (aes-gcm-128), in a lab environment, because there is no driver for the crypto core (yet). OpenVPN is slightly slower (19 Mbps). It's always strange to see your name on the list. The president of ADI shares your name, so I tend to pay a lot more attention

This is a good theory, because RRD data from 2.2.6 suggests that the difference in utilization between the versions is slight, and that we had 'barely' exhausted our system default allocation. Is there a difference between nano and full with respect to the installer explicitly setting

This is valuable input. Thank you to you and Peter. We had to add the tunables rows where they did not exist before. Perhaps if this had been a brand new virgin installation, the installer would have made suitable tunables estimates, based on the hardware, and inserted them into a new

That's very interesting. This datapoint sort of suggests that the opposite would have happened. e.g. "woulda worked" in 2.3.2, "wouldnta worked" in 2.2.6 It may also be relevant that we're running NanoBSD on this board. We are planning to stay with Nano until the ZFS-based file system
