Yes my previous company moved away from it as there were no support for = the hardware in 13 onwards. > QAT is interesting because it not longer requires dedicated hardware. = QAT has been included for many years in a subset of Intel Atom = processors such as the C3338R which are often used in network routers or = low end storage appliances. QAT is also included in all of the Xeon D = series as well as the current series of i5, i7, and i9 desktop = processors. >=20 > I have QAT available in the latest and last generation Intel NUC and = in a Netgate pfsense router. >=20 > I have a FreeBSD 14 beta VMware VM I can use for testing. Given my = existing obligations I would be a poor choice to maintain a port. = However, I am happy to test and/or give remote access to a VM to use for = dev/testing. I think you should consider ktls and try to look for some Chelsio T6 or = NVIDIA/Mellanox Conectx6/Bluefield NICs which has this sort of = offloading capabilities and they are way off better than the CPU one. = And FreeBSD also has support for these from 13.1 onwards.
