Hello,
Does anyone have suggestions as to preferred hardware crypto
accelerators? I want to improve performance of our SSL-based web
application, and making it easier for the web server to spew encrypted
ought to help. :)
Based on
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.4R/hardware-i386.html#CRYPTO-ACCEL and
the notes at http://www.openbsd.org/crypto.html#hardware I get the
impression that the Broadcom stuff is probably best, as they have had
the friendliest history of driver support, and there are a bunch of
different cards listed under the FreeBSD page.
Anyone like to confirm or amend this impression? Vouch for a particular
card?
Thanks,
-danny
