Measuring encryption performance

6

In a DCX Backbone, the slot number is also displayed, along with the performance.

dcx:Admin> cryptocfg –-perfshow

slot2:

3. Even though virtual entities are hosted in a single port of the encryption FPGA, I/Os for those

entities will be sprayed across the ports belonging to the same port group of the hosted port.
Each port group belonging to the encryption ASIC consists of 4 ports. To calculate the
throughput from or to a single host or target pair, please add the performance numbers of the
4 ports together for each virtual entity. The sum total of the redirected throughput is shown
under “Total” of the cryptocfg

–-

perfshow output.

NOTE

For the Brocade Encryption Switch or FS8-18 blade for which only the first encryption performance
upgrade license is installed, I/O traffic will be sprayed across 4 ports of the port group. Otherwise
I/O traffic will be sprayed across only 2 ports of the port group.
