So the dpdk-qat sample application is a sample of how to use the QAT
library APIs from a DPDK application allowing the user to schedule work
with the QAT kernel devices. The QAT API has support for a number of QAT
devices (both the cave-creek and coleto-creek family of devices) which
support symmetric crypto, asymmetric crypto and compression operations.
The l2fwd application demonstrates using the new DPDK symmetric crypto
APIs in packet processing work flow, with the crypto processing
implemented by DPDK userspace PMDs, this currently includes support for
both the AES-NI multi-buffer PMD as well as the QAT PMD.
