encryption hardware vendors. It has the advantage of giving simple figures on the
speed: Due to a number of variables that affect the final result, it would be very
complicated to define a standard environment in which to reliably measure the
overall network throughput. Moreover, the real-world network throughput simply
cannot be measured during the installation, because the kernel-mode IPSec engine is
not available before the first reboot.
An Intel P3 personal computer with processor speed of 800 MHz should be able to
provide a maximum IPSec throughput of over 40 Mbit/s on the preferred cipher.
However, other variables, such as the operating system, network bandwidth and CPU
load, naturally set limitations to the throughput.
Completing the Installation
9. The installation of the SSH Sentinel client software adds kernel-mode components to
the operating system network management. For this reason, you must restart the
computer before using the software.
