The n2cp device driver is a multi-threaded, loadable hardware driver supporting hardware-assisted acceleration of the following cryptographic operations, which are built into the Ultra-SPARC T2 CMT processor:
You configure the n2cp driver by defining properties in the /kernel/drv/n2cp.conf which override the default settings. The following property is supported:
nostats
Disables the generation of statistics. The nostats property may be used to help prevent traffic analysis, however, this may inhibit support personnel.
CRYPTO STATISTICS
Solaris crypto drivers must implement statistics variables. The n2cp driver maintains the following statistics:
cwqXstate
State (online, offline, error) of respective cryptographic engine, CWQ X.
cwqXsubmit
Number of jobs submitted to CWQ X.
cwqXqfull
Number of times when submitting a job that the queue for CWQ X was full.
cwqXqupdate_failure
Number of submit job failures on CWQ X.
des
Total number of jobs submitted to device for DES operations.
des3
Total number of jobs submitted to device for DES3 operations.
aes
Total number of jobs submitted to device for AES operations.
md5
Total number of jobs submitted to device for MD5 operations.
sha1
Total number of jobs submitted to device for SHA-1 operations.
sha256
Total number of jobs submitted to device for SHA-256 operations.
md5hmac
Total number of jobs submitted to device for HMAC_MD5 operations.
sha1hmac
Total number of jobs submitted to device for HMAC_SHA-1 operations.
sha256hmac
Total number of jobs submitted to device for HMAC_SHA-256 operations.
ssl3md5mac
Total number of jobs submitted to device for SSL3_MAC_MD5 operations.
ssl3sha1mac
Total number of jobs submitted to device for SSL3_MAC_SHA-1 operations.
ssl3sha256mac
Total number of jobs submitted to device for SSL3_MAC_SHA-256 operations.
Note -
Additional statistics targeted for Sun support personnel are not documented in this manpage.
