Jason, "network connected ipsec accelerator configured using IP packets." No. This is incorrect. Where did you get that from? It is an IPSec-capable NIC. See here for details: http://www.mellanox.com/page/products_dyn?product_family=249&mtag=programmable_network_adapters The driver we are intending to submit for it, interfaces with the mentioned API in the pull-request (Netdev xdo callbacks) So you configure it from userspace with regular IPSec 'ip xfrm state' commands or over netlink with your favorite IKE daemon. > > Those two things don't seem to be the same. > > Jason
