Yes, I was still talking about additional boxes. HW encryption (as i see it) will not help at all, because by the current design, all packets need to come to userland and go back to kernelland. Most likely to talk to the HW encryption device, another round-trip to kernel space would be needed? > Out of curiosity, did you test the scheduler per the link supplied by > James MacLean? > http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=492DBF02.1070305%40ednet.ns.ca&forum_name=openvpn-devel We use openvpn in p2p setup so this would not be applicable.
