Good question. As a sample application showing how DPDK can be used to implement IPsec, I believe it belongs within the DPDK repo.

When we have an Architecture Board in place, I think one of the first tasks for the board should be to clarify the scope of DPDK. Venky agreed at the Userspace event to draft an initial statement on this. If the outcome of that is that the IPsec sample app doesn't belong within DPDK, then we can put it into a separate tree.
