[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v4 0/5] integrate librte_ipsec SAD into ipsec-secgw

[Medvedkin, Vladimir]

Hi Akhil,

Indeed with our tests we also seeing ~15% perf drop for small packets 
(~90B) and ~3-4% drop for 1KB packets. While I am looking on a ways to 
minimize the drop, I think it would be hard, if possible at all to 
eliminate it completely.
Reason for that: current SAD implementation is completely synthetic 
(using plain array structure indexed by SPI value). That provides a very 
low overhead, but doesn't provide expected functionality and can't be 
used in proper implementation.
To measure plain IPsec performance without SAD user can still use 
'--signle-sa' option.
