You need a newer Xeon with aes-ni instruction set, a very recent kernel including the Intel module patches for these instructions, and maybe a RFS capable NIC. Read also:<br>

I guess without the patch only a single core would be used for encryption, but would you recommend this processor for a 20 tunnels setup using voice and data? </div>
<div><br></div><div>One of these tunnels would be passing terminal server traffic (20 or 30 permanent users) and about 8 simultaneous voip calls using IAX2 trunking. </div><div><br></div><div>I was thinking a box with atom dual core + ssd hd would be a small, reliable and low power consumption solution. Of course, only if this processor can cope with the situation.</div>
