Hi Avi, The NICs do support the IPsec offload feature but currently this is not supported in DPDK. There is ongoing work with regards the RTE_SECURITY interfaces which will be used to handle this type of offload in the DPDK community . It will not be just Intel nics supporting this feature and is expected that all nics that do support it with DPDK will use the RTE_SECURITY framework. There is an ongoing discussion on the DPDK ML with regards to its design and use below http://dpdk.org/dev/patchwork/patch/29835/ Currently I'm also looking at implementing IPsec (non-offload, look aside only) using VPMDs and QAT devices in OVS with DPDK although this work is at early stages. It may be of use to you as I would hope to integrate it with offload functionality down the line. If you have any feedback I would be interested to hear. https://mail.openvswitch.org/pipermail/ovs-dev/2017-August/337919.html Thanks Ian > Maybe ask the guys at Intel? > > https://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-wired-lan > > Regards, > > - Greg > > > _______________________________________________ > > discuss mailing list > > disc...@openvswitch.org > > https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-discuss > > > > _______________________________________________ > discuss mailing list > disc...@openvswitch.org > https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-discuss _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list disc...@openvswitch.org https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-discuss
