hi,

I would like to run a 100Mb/s tor exit node, but I have issues wrt
power consumption.

it seems dreamplugs has *fast* aes-128-ecb.

Does anyone have any experience running a node based on cheap crypto
chip (dreamplug, marvell 88F6282, sheeva-core, padlock, ...) ? What
performance can I expect out of these ?

regards,
sv
