I did some load testing of my own using netserver/netperf and attained about a 5-6MB connection on a 10MB switch (1024bit 3DES-CBC encryption and LZO compression). When testing it in the real world, however, I can repeatedly achieve 2.8 to 3MB/s transfer rate on a 2.5MB cable modem connection using the same testing methods. Both endpoints are either 2.4Ghz P4's or Celerons without any hardware SSL acceleration using OpenBSD 3.6 and OpenVPN 2.0. Performance over a 2.5MB/256k cable modem connection to a 5MB/1MB frame relay pipe has showed little to no degradation in speed with the use of OpenVPN versus connecting straight out to the Internet. > > ------------------------------------------------------- > SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide > Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users. > Discover which products truly live up to the hype.
