Checks
Commit Message
Proposing following two new fields for IPsec inner checksum
configuration in the structure ``rte_security_ipsec_sa_options``.
uint32_t ip_csum_enable : 1;
uint32_t l4_csum_enable : 1;
With these config options, per SA, application can specify if
the inner checksum(compute/verify) to be offloaded to the
security device.
