Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center high performance networking patches, 
which have been around for a few years and are maintained, available as 
part of ports/security/openssh-portable.

Sadly, my patches for the ROT13 cipher have not made it into 
OpenSSH/OpenSSL as of yet.         +

BMS

+ Very capable of line rate encryption. And based on a mature USENET 
technology...
