Hi all, I'm trying to find a hardware acceleration solution for use with OpenVPN (openvpn.sourceforge.net). I am trying to increase the throughput of established SSL tunnels without adding more boxes / procs / etc. We're targeting RedHat Enterprise Linux 3.0, which currently uses OpenSSL 0.9.7a (openssl-0.9.7a-22.1.*.rpm). It looks as though there are several cards supported by the -engine and 0.9.7 releases, as well as several vendors that have "modified" OpenSSL sources... but finding the right card (and published specs) has been a little difficult. My question is, basically, does anyone have any good knowledge about a hardware accelerator card (PCI or PCI-X preferably) that works with OpenSSL's SSL/TLS and EVP APIs? The SSL/TLS will accelerate the handshake / establishment phase of building an OpenVPN tunnel, but I need the EVP interface to accelerate throughput of the tunnel itself. Any information would be great, but numbers on how much acceleration a particular card could do would be even greater :) Thanks, Brenton ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------ Brenton D.
