Has anyone ever worked with SSL Accelerator Cards?
I have been running some tests on one(I can't remember the name offhand, i'll post it later) and it doesn't seem to mesh with the speed estimates that they gave. The say up to 600 SSL transactions per second(It should be illegal to say "up to" in the tech sector).
I seem to be topping out at 200/second.
Server and load gun are plugged into the same switch. Any idea's? Does this sound like a reasonable amount of transactions?

Interesting article.
It looks like 200 requests per second is going to be as good as it gets. Our security department in impressed with that. It's less than half of the speed of HTTP, but is still 45% faster than doing the SSL with IIS.
This shouldn't be a big deal because the app shouldn't be able to run this fast, it has to connect to a db.
