Hello...

Playing with IPsec here, and I can get about 1.5MB/sec using Cast-128 and SHA-1 between two boxes using software. Is anyone working on Hardware Crypto Acceleration support for NetBSD, a la the support in Free/Open?

I mean, I can saturate a T-1, but I need to handle multiple connections, etc and it would be nice to be able to upgrade to a hardware solution (and still use NetBSD) in the future...
