Response Times

In this test, we monitored the response times when using software encryption and not using software encryption.

Figure 1 shows the response times for the cases with and without software encryption.

Observations

The response times with encryption linearly increase with the number of triplets up to four triplets. Response times increase faster in the overcommitted case with five triplets.

Conclusions

The knee of the curve for response time is about four triplets. This is the point at which the system is saturated and more load can only be handled by using queuing. However, even in the overcommitted case, response times are very good.
