Thanks for the reference to the whitepaper. FWIW, I'm the kernel guy at Netflix who has been doing the performance work to get us to 100Gb/s from a single socket. Another interesting optimization we've done (and which needs to be upstreamed) is TLS sendfile. There is a tech blog about this at http://techblog.netflix.com/2016/08/protecting-netflix-viewing-privacy-at.html http://techblog.netflix.com/2016/08/protecting-netflix-viewi.... We don't have a paper yet about the latest work, but we're doing more than 80Gb/s of 100% TLS encrypted traffic from a single socket Xeon with no hardware encryption offloads.

I just wanted to thank you publicly for all your hard work on this. The community will benefit greatly from this. If I recall, correct me if I am wrong, didn't you also port FreeBSD to the Alpha many moons ago? I loved the Alpha and it broke my heart when it died. Sad panda :(

  Doug Rabson did most of the early work on alpha. I sent him enough patches that he sponsored me for a commit bit. My primary desktop for several years was running FreeBSD/alpha. First was an AlphaStation 600, then an API UP1000. I was very sad when alpha got axed, but I agreed with killing it. FreeBSD is about current hardware.
