Description

This talk will delve into the integration of IPsec operations within the virtio-net framework. Our enhancements aim to enable virtio-net to efficiently handle IPsec processing, both before transmission and after reception, providing inline offload capabilities.

Key Benifits: • Improved Performance: Reduces the host’s processing burden, leading to better overall performance.

• Future-Ready: Establishes a base for adding more Inline processing offloads, such as MACsec, PSP, DTLS and others in the future.

• Device Compatibility: This proposal benefits devices that already support inline IPsec processing, such as those from Marvell, enhancing their functionality and performance
