My guess is that the reason for the limited speed with the crypto offloading of my ConnectX-6 Dx is that the IC on the network card runs into it's limit in encryption speed for one connection or TLS flow. Combine that with the time consuming setup of each connection/TLS flow, and the usefulness of the whole idea gets smaller and smaller.
Or is this something they improved with the next gen ConnectX-7? I haven't seen Mellanox/Nvidia post any figures about crypto offload speed...
Does anybody know of some figures or has tested it? Maybe @manawyrm ?
