Enviro:

2 H50s and 2 H70s,
all at AIX 4.3.3.10,
each with 2 IBM 10/100 Ethernet PCI adapters.

A colleague of mine asked me if the RS/6000 network card has anything to do
with implementing IPSec.?

He said that there are network cards that do some off-loading work for
IPSec so that the RS/6000 isn't burdened with it.

I know one must load some specific filesets in order the configure it in
AIX.

Any thoughts on the network card off-loading IPSec from the CPU?
