Hi
I searched the checkpoint site for information about this.
They have a graph somewhere, saying that the throughput
using AES-128/MD5 is about 3 times faster than 3DES/MD5.
Unfortunately i copied only the .gif file, so i can not say
anything about the used system. More details can be found on
the checkpoint site.
Kind regards
