What do the perf profiles show? Presumably, loss of TSO/GSO means an
increase in the per-packet costs, but if the ipsec path significantly
increases the per-byte costs...
Short of a perf profile, I suppose one way to probe for per-packet
versus per-byte would be to up the MTU. That should reduce the
per-packet costs while keeping the per-byte roughly the same.
You could also compare the likes of a single-byte netperf TCP_RR test
between ipsec enabled and not to get an idea of the basic path length
differences without TSO/GSO/whatnot muddying the waters.
happy benchmarking,
rick jones
