PfSense branded hardware not showing ipsec performance with aes-ni???
-
The pfSense store shows ipsec performance without using AES-NI but not with it. I would think that pfsense would have already tested this. Curious as to why this has yet to be provided.

No response yet :-(

Do you have link to the specific page you're referring to?
It's probably because at one point the IPSec performance with AES-NI was improving on an almost daily basis with the work going into it.Steve

Here is the page: https://store.pfsense.org/c2758
I understand that improvements may be happening regularly with AES-NI but the version that is included in 2.2.2 is probably not changing daily. I would expect that if they could provide results from using without AES-NI that they could also provide results with AES-NI since the unit supports it. All it takes is taking to units and performing an actual test across a gigabit switch…
Unless the results are not that much of an improvement possibly due to it only recently being included in freebsd......
I find it odd that they would not include this since it is mentioned as being available.

For sure it would be nice to see those numbers.

This way I don´t love to see, because this is then not really interesting. Better to go by a 1 GB line
and see what between two boxes would be able to handle is a right way in my eyes.

So… since 2.2.4 is released in the mean time: any update when these numbers can be expected?
