I think you dropped a 0. kernel bypass will get you line rate 40gbps w/64 byte packets. We've been showing IPsec over 40g links during the past week. https://twitter.com/netgateusa/status/853694461456646144

Neat! I've heard you can get line rate on slightly bigger packets without bypass using IPVS with direct return since it bypasses part of handling.

In a lot of scenarios the big pipe is right at the load balancer so this is useful.
