[Openswan dev] cryptotest bandwidth units

[Simon Deziel]

Cryptotest outputs bandwidth the results in byte/sec and Mb/sec and this
confuses me a bit. I'd like to know if cryptotest is mostly used to
benchmark network related crypto or if the same crypto framework is
generic enough to be used for storage encryption.

If mostly network related, I would expect the output units to be in
bit/sec and in Mbit/sec where Mbit = bit/(1000*1000).

If not exclusively related to network, it think it feels more natural to
use byte/sec and MB/sec where MB = byte/(1024*1024).

Current output :
# ./cryptotest -a aes 25000 1488
1.676 sec, 50000 aes crypts, 1488 bytes, 44402747 byte/sec, 338.8 Mb/sec

Expected output in bit/sec (network style) :
# ./cryptotest -a aes 25000 1488
1.676 sec, 50000 aes crypts, 1488 bytes, 355221976 bit/sec, 355.2 Mb/sec

Expected output in byte/sec (storage style) :
# ./cryptotest -a aes 25000 1488
1.676 sec, 50000 aes crypts, 1488 bytes, 44402747 byte/sec, 42.35 MB/sec
