CPU Increase when enabling AES-GCM
Supposedly AES-GCM should be the "best" cipher right now in terms of efficiency, however I noticed when enabling it on the F5, CPU goes up significantly. This is on a Viprion 2100 blade, 11.5.1 HF6....

I could not wait anymore and had to find the TLS/SSL hardware used from article "SOL7778: BIG-IP hardware SSL and compression cards". Then search "Product Brief" for the specific chip to be sure if SHA-2 hardware acceleration is possible. Hopefully we get some answer from F5 to this SHA-2 CPU consumption issue.
