      CPU Type Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU C3338R @ 1.80GHz
      2 CPUs : 1 package(s) x 2 core(s)
      AES-NI CPU Crypto: Yes (inactive)
      IPsec-MB Crypto: Yes (inactive)
      QAT Crypto: Yes (active)

      Should I enable AES-NI Crypto and/or IPsec-MB Crypto along with QAT Crypto?

        If you can make use of QAT then it should be first choice - dedicated silicon and all.

        IPsec-MB Crypto is second choice (but seems to work a bit faster than QAT in some scenarios, not sure why - both are seriously fast.)

        AES-NI is nowhere compared to the above.

          @RobbieTT Thanks for your input. I'll leave it as is then (QAT Crypto enabled, others disabled).
