I have an option to get a PCI crypto card based on the Broadcom BCM5820 chipset. I see the card is still listed as current at Broadcom's site and that it is supported via the ubsec(4) driver in FreeBSD. Does anyone know a few of the various common and current crypto cards? I am having a hard time finding any benchmarks or comparisons of various cards and can't tell what to expect from this hardware. Also, can someone point me to a utility or method of benchmarking before/after this card (software vs. hardware) specifically for SSL transactions? (Card is intended to go into server doing some HTTPS commerce transactions.) Server is almost-current dual 2.8Ghz dual core x386 machine. Thanks you - d.
