[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v4 1/3] security: support pdcp protocol

Joseph Joseph
Tue Oct 16 08:40:14 CEST 2018


Hi Akhil,

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4301#section-1

RFC says we need to use "IPsec" and not "IPSec". Can you fix this in the 
lines you have added?

And do see inline for other comments.

Thanks,
Anoob

Would this flag contradict with RTE_SECURITY_TX_OLOAD_NEED_MDATA? 
Suppose if we have a security device which would do PDCP in inline mode, 
this would become a problem, right?
