Hi,
These Intel NIC's: X540, 82599, I40E - supports IPsec offload
But I don't see that the drivers supplied by Intel - handle it (??)
Also I don't see any reference in the DPDK userspace drivers librte_pmd_ixgbe.c ..
Can someone tell if this is supported somewhere ?
Best Regards
Avi

Maybe ask the guys at Intel?

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.

No problem Avi,
One minor correction to my original reply, I don't the X710/XL710 i40e devices support ipsec offload functionality (at least not from what I can see in their data sheets). The Intel X540 and 82599 family of NICs do have support. Their datasheets have the specifics with regards to capabilities.
Thanks
Ian
