WRAP throughput with VPN1411 card

[Rich]

I just finished testing 2 Wrap 1E-2 boards with 128 MB RAM and Soekris VPN1411 cards
with an IPSEC VPN with the following settings:

Phase 1
3DES
SHA1
DH 2
PSK

Phase 2
ESP
3DES
SHA1
PFS Off

Here is the IPerf test:

C:\iperf>iperf -c 192.168.4.199 -w 65536 -P5 -t 300

Client connecting to 192.168.4.199, TCP port 5001

[ ID] Interval      Transfer    Bandwidth
[864]  0.0-300.1 sec  66.6 MBytes  1.86 Mbits/sec
[816]  0.0-300.2 sec  63.5 MBytes  1.78 Mbits/sec
[832]  0.0-300.2 sec  71.1 MBytes  1.99 Mbits/sec
[800]  0.0-300.3 sec  62.4 MBytes  1.74 Mbits/sec
[848]  0.0-300.9 sec  56.8 MBytes  1.58 Mbits/sec
[SUM]  0.0-300.9 sec  320 MBytes  8.93 Mbits/sec

They really work nicely. They peak over 10 Mbits/sec. By taking one of the
VPN1411's out, short bursts up to 4 Mbits/sec are possible, but try to
sustain it for more than 10 seconds and the one with no card will reboot.
The one with the card will be at less than 50% CPU utilization.

Thats really nice data to see.  Thanks for sharing!!!  Not bad at all for a 266 mhz device + vpn crypto.
