This API will allow users > to control the crypto offload functionality offered by new NICs, > such as Mellanox Innova IPsec. > > Applications can request ESP encryption offload for transmission of > well-formed plaintext ESP packets, or decryption offload for > well-fromed ciphertext ESP packets. Packets are encrypted/decrypted > according to the direction of the flow. > > In order to create an ESP crypto offload specification, the user has > to add it to a flow with the Security Association selectors. > Hey Boris, Do you have any applications that utilize this and other flow steering APIs? It would be nice to see example usage.
