For those who may be interested, my VPN testing shows MUCH improvement on faster hardware. The plot at http://www.ligo-la.caltech.edu/~sroddy/NewvsOldHW.IPSec.png shows the vast difference hardware can make for a VPN gateway. `The old hardware was roughly a PII 400 mhz with 128 megs of ram, and the new hardware was PIV 2ghz machines with 512 megs of ram. Also, intel network cards vs. 3com. This is a manually keyed IPSec VPN using 3des encryption.
