Measuring encryption performance
Examples of the command output are shown below. The port number mentioned is the user port
number corresponding to the 8G capable FC platform/port facing towards the Encryption FPGA.
NOTE
For accurate results, ensure that the encryption engines (EEs) are online before executing the
command. If an EE is offline, throughput results will be shown as 0.
