SSL Hardware Accelerator

[PRO ISP]

Hi all,

I'm considering using Intel AES-NI SSL hardware accelerator with LiteSpeed. Currently I'm using "(built-in) OpenSSL internal engine". What should I be aware of if I change? Will this speed up AES only? Will other encryptions still use "(built-in) OpenSSL internal engine"? Have anyone seen any performance improvement changing SSL hardware accelerator?

Thanks in advance for any input

since we use OpenSSL 1.0.1 now, AESNI acceleration is used by default, no need to change that configuration, it is for OpenSSL 0.9.8 .
It is only speed up AES if your server CPU has AESNI support. you only see difference when HTTPS traffic is high.
