I didn't say it was in everything since 2008. I said that both companies widely released it by 2010 and that most of the x64 (64 Bit) processors released in the past few years years do support them (except for some of the low end systems, usually used in price constrained embedded style processors)

I think you're missing the point that software support exists; pfSense supports software AES *now*, and this is being removed. New technology is cool; things not working anymore is not. Anyway, what are are other projects such as the TLS libraries doing about this? Is hardware acceleration really

Well, both Intel and AMD starting shipping the AES-NI instructions 8 years ago... How long does a project need to wait before it can require a feature found on all major x64 processors? Waiting 8-9 years seems reasonable to me. Given the fact that the project is only supporting 64-bit and suggest

This board does round-up gigabit (something like 976 Mb/s) in both directions on all 4 interfaces: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00XNR4HE2/ The key for me here was the interrupt coalescence of these particular Intel NICs. A very similar board with Broadcom NICs that lacked this feature maxed out the
