<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Hello,<br>
<br>
We are using Intel IPSec multi-buffer library for our software security needs for Snow3G, AES and ZUC algorithms.
<br>
Are there any known issues or recommendations for Snow3G algorithm with DPDK 24.11 and IPSec version 1.4?<br>
<br>
We recently switched to using DPDK 24.11 with IPSec version 1.4 from DPDK 22.11 with IPSec version 1.2.
<br>
The AES and ZUC performance look good with the upgrade, but the Snow3G performance has degraded within our application.
<br>
We have been using AES-NI Multi Buffer Crypto Poll Mode Driver for all algorithms as the DPDK documentation recommends this for better performance and algorithm mixing. <br>
<br>
When we tried SNOW3G Crypto Poll Mode Driver for Snow3G with DPDK 24.11 and IPSec version 1.4, it is somehow performing better than AES-NI Multi Buffer Crypto Poll Mode Driver.<br>
<br>
FYI, the standalone application results utilizing dpdk-test-crypto-perf tool still look good for all algorithms on both IPSec versions.
<br>
<br>
Could you please help us figure out the could for the performance degradation with Snow3G on our internal application?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Sana <o:p></o:p></span></p>
