RFIPSC Quick Start Guide

encryption hardware vendors. It has the advantage of giving simple figures on the speed: Due to a number of variables that affect the final result, it would be very complicated to define a standard environment in which to reliably measure the overall network throughput. Moreover, the real-world network throughput simply cannot be measured during the installation, because the kernel-mode IPSec engine is not available before the first reboot.

An Intel P3 personal computer with processor speed of 800 MHz should be able to provide a maximum IPSec throughput of over 40 Mbit/s on the preferred cipher. However, other variables, such as the operating system, network bandwidth and CPU load, naturally set limitations to the throughput.

Completing the Installation

9.The installation of the SSH Sentinel client software adds kernel-mode components to the operating system network management. For this reason, you must restart the computer before using the software.
