QAT support Strongswan

Open ronit1495 opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

Hi

I have been trying to accelerate the speed of ipsec connection between two vms (QAT VFs) on a DELL node with 3 QAT devices (C6xx). Is there any default support for QAT in Stongswan ipsec ? Also how can I enable if it's not? Your insights will be really helpful.

Hi I do not know if this will answer all your questions but may I refer you to a white paper : - https://01.org/sites/default/files/downloads//intelipsecaccelerationwhitepaper.pdf

Did you get this working? It's difficult to find any documentation on how to set this up. My QAT driver is installed and device detected, but now how does Strongswan take advantage of the card? Any special configuration?
