[Ipsec] OT: cryptographic parameters - performance data



hello again,

in my research on the use of cryptographic parameters for use with ipsec, i 
have been trying to find some performace data on the various cryptogrpahic 
algorithms.

any help much appreciated once again.

i have manged to find some info on AES in the book 'The Design of Rijndael', 
and i have found some info on sha-1 and md5 in:

http://www.netsys.com/ipsec/1996/msg00585.html

i am wondering whether anybody know if there is any freely available (on the 
web/in a book) on the relative performance of sha-1/md5 and 
des/3des/aes/seal ??

On a second point, could anyone tell me what specific advantages of using 
the same cryptographic parameters (encryption/hash algorithms) for both IKE 
and IPSec SAs? instinctively it seems better, but is it fair to say that it 
will improve performance between peers if the the same algorithms are used, 
and if so why in particular?

many thanks for answering my questions
