I checked the sysctl's between the two system and where the match they
are the same. The raw transfer rate ~94mbits/sec is the same as I was
getting between the systems when they were both 4.9. The real
difference appears to be in ipsec. The other thing that is interesting
is the idle time when I am running this test on the 6.x system is about
70% when it was a 4.9 system getting 54mbits/sec the idle time was only
50-55%.
I am reluctant to try fast ipsec because of problems I had when I tried
it under 4.9, it didn't work with our existing sites.
