Adam,

Given the 21Mbps figure I quoted, 100x (2.1Gbps) would be an unrealistic
expectation.

Based on the discussion here:
https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!msg/beagleboard/ZFrCs9ZHCP4/aCNFejgXpxYJ

perhaps 3-4x at 1500 (1420) byte frame sizes, and (as a guess), closer to
3, given the PPs rates we see without the crypto offload, and the
associated CPU loading.

Most of the work lately has actually been on the Ethernet driver, which
(good news), we can no longer make fall over at high frame rates.
