Hi,

I used to benchmarked IPsec performance on following platform with netperf.

  - PentiumIII 500MHz
  - 256MB Memory
  - Intel Ether Express Pro 100 (100Mbps)
  - FreeBSD 2.2.8
  - KAME 19990809 stable
  - connect two machines directly
  - IPv4
  - IPsec transport mode
  - ESP with 3DES-CBC
  - AH with HMAC-SHA1

And the results are about,

  TCP STREAM TEST   UDP STREAM TEST
    NONE:   60Mbps    NONE:   94Mbps
    AH:     23Mbps    AH:     30Mbps
    ESP:    11Mbps    ESP:    11Mbps
    AH+ESP:  8Mbps    AH+ESP:  9Mbps

P.S. The same tests with IPv6 produced almost the same results.
