RE: IPSec performance statistics



Correct me if I'm wrong but I think this is a non-issue for corporate VPNs
since accelerator boards are typically integrated to handle the encryption
and decryption functions. It is unacceptable for VPNs to degrade
router/internework performance.

There will be lots of statistics, but they'll depend on the machines
used, and the packet size. However, my observation is that with
ESP-3DES, the time taken to process packets is almost doubled.

It should be easy to run performance tests for your own setup.

| Hi,
|   Can anybody provide some statistics on the percentage of change in
| performance (throughtput) due to the inclusion of IPsec in the IP
stack. Are
| there any statistics available which shows the reduction in
performance due
| to the use of DES or 3DES for ESP.
|
| Thanks in advance.
