(The best candidate so far would be the NITROX XL NMB AccelerationBoards, http://www.caviumnetworks.com/acceleration_boards_Mini-PCI.htm)VPN 1411 from Soekris could in theory help: http://soekris.com/vpn1401.htmIn theory only, because there is no working driver for Linux 2.6 (there are sources for Linux 2.4 and OpenBSD/FreeBSD).
(Slightly) OT, are there any HOWTOs or other general overviews of the crypto-related APIs in the kernel that appear to be getting significant attention the last few releases?
It looks like there's more than an accelerator API there lately, I'm trying to get a sense of the motivations for its use--- as well as how to use it, of course.
