CPU test IPsec, rare result

Marcelo Mujica
Hi (excuse my english):
I have accomplished a CPU test conecting 1 for 1 ipsec client and measured de CPU utilization, but since 4 client, CPU utilization decrease rarely. Again same test, again same rare result,

Any ideas

Saludos

    4 percent?  is that the amount of hte increase or the total usage?  if it is the total usage i would not worry..if that is the percentage increase as long as your cpu does not hang around over 60 or so percent i would not worry about it either..

    My doubt is:
    If cpu overhead is directly proportional to ipsec client amount transfering bulk data, why my test delivered other result?...
    1 IPsec client----->cpu=61%
    2 IPsec client----->cpu=85%
    3 IPsec client----->cpu=91%
    4 IPsec client----->cpu=93%
    5 IPsec client----->cpu=92%
    6 IPsec client----->cpu=88%
    7 IPsec client----->cpu=83%
    8 IPsec client----->cpu=81%
    the test was realized two times and similar results
    I am wrong???
    Thank!

    it is not neccessairly going to be linear since there are other things going in the background...what class of machine is this(cpu/ram..etc)?

    what do things look like when ipsec is off?  does the cpu usage drop a whole bunch or does it hover in the 60-90% range?  i am assuming you are using it for firewalling?  how about e-amil filtering/forwarding/anti-virus..etc??
