[Openswan Users] scalability

[David Tang]

Hi Ken,

That sounds great. Do you recommend any fast PCI network card or main board?
Thanks for help!

Regards,
David

Hi David, 

There is no real limit on the number of tunnels.  You are limited only by 
the crypto speed, and a P4 3.0 ghz will do AES @ nearly 1000mbps wirespeed 
if you can get it off your PCI bus fast enough.  See the wiki for some 
stats:

The future is here. It's just not evenly distributed yet.
