Thanks Willy. We also see very bad performance with HW acceleration (but better than what you said). We attribute it to the fact that we can launch only 1 operation at a time in synchronous manner coupled with the high latency of getting data in and out of the VMs. That is why we hope to

Now this is where I probably look stupid but... Am I correct in stating that the AES-NI is only really useful for file encryption... and bugger all use for HTTPS/SSL encryption (which is what we really want) ? Very happy to be told I'm wrong, because it would be great it it was. On 29

Thank you all for your replies. Yes I want to accelerate the RSA and DHE operations also, which needs approx 2 million CPU cycles per key pair if done in pure SW. The Coleto Creek HW will give big boost if we can get it to work. AES-NI can help the bulk traffic but not very helpful for

Hi HAproxy team, Is there a plan to add HW acceleration to your SSL proxy? I am thinking of using HAproxy with Intel Coleto Creek in asynchronous mode, wonder if anyone has done the patch work that needs to make that work. Thanks, Eric This email and any attachments thereto may contain private,

Hi Eric, If you use a hardware device supported by openssl library you'll have hardware acceleration, for example AES-NI extension is available on recent cpu's and recent versions of openssl. I don't know about your Coleto creek device, but i'm sure you can check with openssl :) /Björn On
