Hi. The new affordable routers with 'IPSec hardware encryption acceleration' (RB750Gr3).
.. can the hardware acceleration work for SSTP as well? or only IPSec?
just asking, why? As far as i know, usually the HW assists the cyphering, which is in this case AES (CBC or CTR) up to 256bits.Hardware acceleration works only with ipsec.
Because SSTP uses regular SSL lib which does not support HW acceleration. But it is possible that in future SSTP will also use HW enc.
from 6.39 changelog:
*) ipsec - enable aes-ni on i386 and x64 for cbc, ctr and gcm modes;
So yes, CHR will have increased AES performance if v6.39 is installed, but this only works with IPSec, not SSTP.
