Hi, I did a port of NetBSD's qat(4) to FreeBSD for pfSense, and made some enhancements. This provides an opencrypto-compatible driver for Intel's QuickAssist devices, aimed mainly to be used with IPSec. A review is posted here for anyone interested in reviewing: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D26963 So far it's mostly been tested on an Atom C3000, where some ad-hoc testing with iperf3 shows ~20-30% improvements relative to aesni(4) and some reduction in CPU usage. I've done some functional testing on a Xeon system with a 8950 adapter as well. If anyone is interested in testing the driver, please send me email. Some firmware images not included in the review above are required in order to test. I plan to port it to stable/12 shortly. Thanks, -Mark
