Hi,

great to see more crypto drivers coming into DPDK, thanks.

Question: do you know if this code would have any export compliance
implications for DPDK - or for those repackaging DPDK? Up till now, all
the crypto code used by DPDK was actually packaged in separate libraries
that were re-used, meaning that DPDK didn't contain any crypto
algorithms itself.

Regards,
