Customers with LoadMaster hardware (e.g., an LM-X40) with a Cavium III hardware SSL accelerator installed have reported performance issues when using the Cavium III hardware with TLS 1.3. A new switch has been introduced on the Network Options page in the UI that allows you to switch from using the current 1.1.1 OpenSSL libraries to using the older 1.0.2 libraries, which do not exhibit the performance issues seen with the 1.1.1 libraries; please note, however, that the older libraries do not support TLS 1.3. Please consult with Kemp Support before enabling this workaround. [Note that these performance issues do not apply to Cavium V hardware.]
