As a follow-up, I talked with Andreas Steinel who did compile OCF-Linux on his net5501 back in the summer on 2008 (kernel 2.6.25.10).
He didn't have a vpn1411 card but the numbers for the geode aes acceleration are very impressive (likely too good to be true -- Andreas told me that he wasn't able to see this speedup on his OpenVPN setup): # openssl engine (cryptodev) BSD cryptodev engine (padlock) VIA PadLock (no-RNG, no-ACE) (dynamic) Dynamic engine loading support # openssl speed -evp aes-128-cbc -engine dynamic type 16 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes aes-128-cbc 7091.41k 10286.25k 11557.60k 12058.76k 12157.67k # openssl speed -evp aes-128-cbc type 16 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 2048 bytes aes-128-cbc 65098.13k 92264.00k 410205.87k 5833523.20k 7599923.20k Here are more infos from Andreas: ----- I also had to patch openssl and wrote the following md5sums down: d3afc44792abe1fbbf8281ffa6fbcbce openssl_0.9.8g-10.1.diff.gz acf70a16359bf3658bdfb74bda1c4419 openssl_0.9.8g.orig.tar.gz 749305c08ddeeb45df7f3c754c4a1eff openssl-0.9.8g.patch (Aus dem ocf-linux-20080704 Ordner) I built the following debian packages out of it: libcrypto0.9.8-udeb_0.9.8g-10.2_i386.udeb libssl0.9.8_0.9.8g-10.2_i386.deb libssl0.9.8-dbg_0.9.8g-10.2_i386.deb libssl-dev_0.9.8g-10.2_i386.deb openssl_0.9.8g-10.2_i386.deb _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
