Buyers question: Have intel AES-NI already been integrated in IPSEC stacks?
- by deploymonkey
Dear serverfault, I need to decide between deploying Opteron 6100 and Xeon Westmere EP, so I regard this a platform question. If not, it may be moved to stackoverflow and I hereby declare that I am very sorry.
Do any (F)OSS or proprietory IPSEC stacks already use the AES-NI functions of the Westmere-EP?
Thanks a bundle!
ps. If anyone would like to create the tag AES-NI, You're welcome. I couldn't due to lack of rep.
