Hello:

Does anyone have any experience with adding SSL, IPSec & IKE and/or firewall
functionality in VxWorks, which is a real-time operating system for the
embedded industry? Our environment is VxWorks 5.4 on PPC.

For SSL, IPSec/ IKE - any recommendations on what products we should use
and why. (e.g. Wind NET IPSEC, Wind NET SSL). As for the firewall we are
looking for a simple packet filter firewall and are open for suggestions.

Also I am interested in performance impact. Since we are in an embedded
environment, I am concern about CPU and memory utilization, propagation
delay? Any rough numbers on what we should expect based on experience.

I have posted this question on other news group but received no response.
Any information will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance:

Skye
