Linux VPN Performance and Optimization
This thesis provides an analysis of the available software VPN solutions and its performance on the Linux system. This analysis is then used as a basis to determine performance bottlenecks, suggest performance improvements and further design and implement the most promising of them. The result of this thesis is a Linux kernel module which does TLS and DTLS transmission and reception in kernel space. The module utilizes key material established during a TLS or DTLS handshake in user space. Despite the fact that the developed module was designed for use by VPNs there are identified several other use-cases which can take advantage of our module.
