-Internet Protocol Security (IPsec)
-----------------------------------
-
-VPP IPsec performance tests are executed for the following crypto
-plugins:
-
-- `crypto_native`, used for software based crypto leveraging CPU
- platform optimizations e.g. Intel's AES-NI instruction set.
-- `crypto_ipsecmb`, used for hardware based crypto with Intel QAT PCIe
- cards.

-The tests are running on 2-node testbeds: 2n-tx2. The uni-directional tests
-are partially addressing a weakness in 2-node testbed setups with T-Rex as
-the traffic generator. With just one DUT node, we can either encrypt or decrypt
-traffic in each direction.
-
-The testcases are only doing encryption - packets are encrypted on the DUT and
-then arrive at TG where no additional packet processing is needed (just
-counting packets).
-
-Decryption would require that the traffic generator generated encrypted packets
-which the DUT then would decrypt. However, T-Rex does not have the capability
-to encrypt packets.
