在 Windows Server 2016 中,SDN 网关无法满足现代网络的吞吐量要求。
IPsec 和 GRE 隧道的网络吞吐量存在限制,IPsec 连接的单连接吞吐量约为 300 Mbps,GRE 连接的吞吐量约为 2.5 Gbps。
Microsoft 在 Windows Server 2019 中,将SDN网关的IPsec 和 GRE 连接的吞吐量分别提升至 1.8 Gbps 和 15 Gbps。 同时,每字节的 CPU 周期大大减少,从而提供了超高性能吞吐量,并且 CPU 占用率也大大降低。
Windows Server 2019 SDN network throughput is about 1.8 Gbps for 1 tunnel and about 5 Gbps for 8 tunnels
Network throughput for GRE tunnels in Windows Server 2019 without SDN varies from 2 to 5 Gbps, with SDN it leapfrogs to the range of 3 to 15 Gbps!!!

对于 GRE 连接,在网关 VM 上部署/升级到 Windows Server 2019 版本后,会自动改进性能。 不需要手动执行任何步骤。
对于 IPsec 连接,在为虚拟网络创建连接时,默认配置是 Windows Server 2016 数据路径和性能数据。若要在2019环境下提升性能,需要做如下操作:
为了获得最佳性能,请确保 IPsec 连接的 quickMode 设置中的 cipherTransformationConstant 和 authenticationTransformConstant 使用 GCMAES256 密码套件。
为了获得最佳性能,网关主机硬件必须支持 AES-NI 和 PCLMULQDQ CPU 指令集。 Westmere (32nm) 及更高版本的所有 Intel CPU 上都提供了这些指令集,但已禁用了 AES-NI 的型号除外。
