Hello Everybody,

what level of a performance can one expect when using AES in GCM with AESNI, 
more or less?

I am getting about 400 Mbit/s with iperf on Debian 7 (AMD64) with Linux 3.16.7, 
strongSwan 5.2.1 and "ike=aes128gcm16-aesxcbc-modp1024", 
"esp=aes128gcm16-modp1024" on a Intel Haswell i3 (4130T).

ipsec statusall:
