Yes, the idea would be running L2fwd-crypto on both hosts and both ports. The command line on host A would be (example: AES-CBC only encryption) : ./l2fwd-crypto -l 1 -n 4 --vdev crypto_X -- --chain CIPHER_ONLY --cipher_algo aes-cbc --cipher_op ENCRYPT / --cipher_iv_random_size 16 --cipher_key_random_size 16 Whereas, on host B: ./l2fwd-crypto -l 1 -n 4 --vdev crypto_X -- --chain CIPHER_ONLY --cipher_algo aes-cbc --cipher_op DECRYPT / --cipher_iv_random_size 16 --cipher_key_random_size 16 Pablo > > Best Regards > Avi >
