I tried asking on coderpunks, but I guess this isn't something you can do 
much about in software :-)

Does anybody know of any currently available solutions that can handle
OC-48 (2.4 Gbps) line rates at 3-DES strength or better? If so, what sort 
of pipeline and latency do they impose (e.g., do they need a large number 
of parallel CBC sessions, etc)

Also, has anybody clocked any IPSEC implementations at OC-3 or better?

Thanks

Simon
