Hi folks,
I compared TCP-over-NULL-ESP vs. plain-TCP throughput with "ttcp" tool and
obtained the following results:
Plain-TCP: 11 megabytes/s
NULL-ESP: 2.5 megabytes/s
Am I doing something wrong? I did the measurements by transferring a 100
megabyte file using vanilla 2.6.7 kernel and IPv6. Seems like my
results are inconsistent at least with measurements published by Linux
Journal:
http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7840
The main differences with the Linux Journal measurements are that I used a
significantly larger filesize and IPv6. So, I tried to run the same with
IPv4 and got similar results... any ideas?
