Hello All,

Drifting off topic on this one but when I saw OpenVPN
Openvpn performance on OpenBSD (with Tap Interfaces)  is less than one
would expect..
even turning off ciphers and auth... you can still get about 80-90mb/s on a
machine
that would forward about 3.5Gb/s - 5Gb/s
In doing a test with tap interfaces and a userland bridge (thanks Claudio)
to test where the bottleneck was
(incase it was the Tap interface was slow) it looked like OpenBSD Tap
interfaces were not
performance of the tap interfaces were about 10% slower than bridging
physical interfaces
To blame... as OpenVPN vpn say themselves it needs a rewrite and perhaps
the code  inefficiencies in OpenVPN
combined with the OpenBSD Mitigations limit performance.

sorry for drifting a little off topic...
Tom Smyth
