<tt>Hi there,</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>I am using Strongswan 5.1.3 tool for a site-site scenario

</tt><tt>So my config files resemble to the example files given in
the above links (except just the IP addresses).</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>I am trying to do Benchmark on unidirectional traffic so
each Ipsec GW will either process on encryption/decryption. I am
sending UDP traffic which is being encrypted as ESP payload in
an Intel server whose CPU is 12 core 2.0 GHz.</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>By stressing with traffic it seems I can achieve maximum
43% line rate for larger Pkt size (1400b) and only 28% line rate
for smaller packet size (256b).</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>Looking at the top output it seems that only 1 core is
occupied and reaches to 100% of consumption. </tt><tt><br>
