I'm building small server application using intel QAT engine.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">1) I'm trying to find benchmark numbers for pure hardware based comparison between with or without QAT engine. I mmap the file which server will send (to eliminate disk performance). Any pointer where to find would be appreciated.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">2) I'm also trying to check if there is hardware based comparison between tcp vs tls. How much performance degradation I should expect when I start using tls instead of tcp(given it is small embedded server which is mmapping the file). I tried googling it and everywhere is mentions that there is no to very little performance effect between TCP & TLS but that is not what I see. </div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">I see performance degradation of magnitude of 10 times. I use per core measurement. For single core if TCP performance is 50K CPS per core and throughput is 10Gbps, when I modify it to use TLS 2048 RSA with AES performance foes down to ~1Gbps and 300CPS for 128K file download. I'm using home grown tcp stack and also bypassing linux kernel for networking.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Thanks,</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Amy</div></div></body></html>
