+L2 Forwarding with Crypto Sample Application
+============================================
+
+The L2 Forwarding with Crypto (l2fwd-crypto) sample application is a simple example of packet processing using
+the Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK), in conjunction with the Cryptodev library.
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+The L2 Forwarding with Crypto sample appplication performs a crypto operation (cipher/hash)
+specified by the user from command line (or using the default values),
+with a crypto device capable of doing that operation,
+for each packet that is received on a RX_PORT and performs L2 forwarding.
+The destination port is the adjacent port from the enabled portmask, that is,
+if the first four ports are enabled (portmask 0xf),
+ports 0 and 1 forward into each other, and ports 2 and 3 forward into each other.
+Also, the MAC addresses are affected as follows:
+
+*   The source MAC address is replaced by the TX_PORT MAC address
+
+*   The destination MAC address is replaced by  02:00:00:00:00:TX_PORT_ID
+
+Compiling the Application
+-------------------------
+
+#.  Go to the example directory:
+
+    .. code-block:: console
+
+        export RTE_SDK=/path/to/rte_sdk
+        cd ${RTE_SDK}/examples/l2fwd-crypto
+
+#.  Set the target (a default target is used if not specified). For example:
+
+    .. code-block:: console
+
+        export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
+
+    *See the DPDK Getting Started Guide* for possible RTE_TARGET values.
+
+#.  Build the application:
+
+    .. code-block:: console
+
+        make
+
+Running the Application
+-----------------------
+
+The application requires a number of command line options:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    ./build/l2fwd-crypto [EAL options] -- [-p PORTMASK] [-q NQ] [-s] [-T PERIOD] /
+    [--cdev_type HW/SW/ANY] [--chain HASH_CIPHER/CIPHER_HASH/CIPHER_ONLY/HASH_ONLY] /

+
+*   q NQ: A number of queues (=ports) per lcore (default is 1)
+
+*   s: manage all ports from single core
+
+*   T PERIOD: statistics will be refreshed each PERIOD seconds
+
+    (0 to disable, 10 default, 86400 maximum)

+
+*   digest_size: set the size of the digest to be generated/verified.
+
+*   sessionless: no crypto session will be created.
+
+
+The application requires that crypto devices capable of performing

+This means that HW crypto device/s must be bound to a DPDK driver or
+a SW crypto device/s (virtual crypto PMD) must be created (using --vdev).
+
+To run the application in linuxapp environment with 2 lcores, 2 ports and 2 crypto devices, issue the command:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    $ ./build/l2fwd -c 0x3 -n 4 --vdev "cryptodev_aesni_mb_pmd" \
+    --vdev "cryptodev_aesni_mb_pmd" -- -p 0x3 --chain CIPHER_HASH \
+    --cipher_op ENCRYPT --cipher_algo AES_CBC \
+    --cipher_key 00:01:02:03:04:05:06:07:08:09:0a:0b:0c:0d:0e:0f \
+    --auth_op GENERATE --auth_algo SHA1_HMAC \
+    --auth_key 10:11:12:13:14:15:16:17:18:19:1a:1b:1c:1d:1e:1f
+
+Refer to the *DPDK Getting Started Guide* for general information on running applications
+and the Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL) options.
+
+Explanation
+-----------
+
+The L2 forward with Crypto application demonstrates the performance of a crypto operation
+on a packet received on a RX PORT before forwarding it to a TX PORT.
+
+The following figure illustrates a sample flow of a packet in the application,
+from reception until transmission.
+
+.. _figure_l2_fwd_encrypt_flow:
+
+.. figure:: img/l2_fwd_encrypt_flow.*
+
+   Encryption flow Through the L2 Forwarding with Crypto Application
+
+
+The following sections provide some explanation of the application.
+
+Crypto operation specification
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+All the packets received in all the ports get transformed by the crypto device/s
+(ciphering and/or authentication).
+The crypto operation to be performed on the packet is parsed from the command line
+(go to "Running the Application section for all the options).
+
+If no parameter is passed, the default crypto operation is:
+
+* Encryption with AES-CBC with 128 bit key.
+
+* Authentication with SHA1-HMAC (generation).
+
+* Keys, IV and AAD are generated randomly.
+
+There are two methods to pass keys, IV and ADD from the command line:
+
+* Passing the full key, separated bytes by ":"::
+
+   --cipher_key 00:11:22:33:44
+
+* Passing the size, so key is generated randomly::
+
+   --cipher_key_random_size 16
+
+**Note**:
+   If full key is passed (first method) and the size is passed as well (second method),
+   the latter will be ignored.
+
+Size of these keys are checked (regardless the method), before starting the app,
+to make sure that it is supported by the crypto devices.
+
+Crypto device initialization
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Once the cryption operation is defined, crypto devices are initialized.
+The crypto devices must be either bound to a DPDK driver (if they are physical devices)
+or created using the EAL option --vdev (if they are virtual devices),
+when running the application.
+
+The initialize_cryptodevs() function performs the device initialization.
+It iterates through the list of the available crypto devices and
+check which ones are capable of performing the operation.
+Each device has a set of capabilities associated with it,
+which are stored in the device info structure, so the function checks if the operation
+is within the structure of each device.
+
+The following code checks if the device supports the specified cipher algorithm
+(similar for the authentication algorithm):
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+   /* Check if device supports cipher algo */
+   i = 0;
+   opt_cipher_algo = options->cipher_xform.cipher.algo;
+   cap = &dev_info.capabilities[i];
+   while (cap->op != RTE_CRYPTO_OP_TYPE_UNDEFINED) {
+           cap_cipher_algo = cap->sym.cipher.algo;
+           if (cap->sym.xform_type ==
+                           RTE_CRYPTO_SYM_XFORM_CIPHER) {
+                   if (cap_cipher_algo == opt_cipher_algo) {
+                           if (check_type(options, &dev_info) == 0)
+                                   break;
+                   }
+           }
+           cap = &dev_info.capabilities[++i];
+   }
+
+If a capable crypto device is found, key sizes are checked to see if they are supported
+(cipher key and IV for the ciphering):
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+   /*
+    * Check if length of provided cipher key is supported
+    * by the algorithm chosen.
+    */
+   if (options->ckey_param) {
+           if (check_supported_size(
+                           options->cipher_xform.cipher.key.length,
+                           cap->sym.cipher.key_size.min,
+                           cap->sym.cipher.key_size.max,
+                           cap->sym.cipher.key_size.increment)
+                                   != 0) {
+                   printf("Unsupported cipher key length\n");
+                   return -1;
+           }
+   /*
+    * Check if length of the cipher key to be randomly generated
+    * is supported by the algorithm chosen.
+    */
+   } else if (options->ckey_random_size != -1) {
+           if (check_supported_size(options->ckey_random_size,
+                           cap->sym.cipher.key_size.min,
+                           cap->sym.cipher.key_size.max,
+                           cap->sym.cipher.key_size.increment)
+                                   != 0) {
+                   printf("Unsupported cipher key length\n");
+                   return -1;
+           }
+           options->cipher_xform.cipher.key.length =
+                                   options->ckey_random_size;
+   /* No size provided, use minimum size. */
+   } else
+           options->cipher_xform.cipher.key.length =
+                           cap->sym.cipher.key_size.min;
+
+After all the checks, the device is configured and it is added to the
+crypto device list.
+
+**Note**:
+   The number of crypto devices that supports the specified crypto operation
+   must be at least the number of ports to be used.
+
+Session creation
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The crypto operation has a crypto session associated to it, which contains
+information such as the transform chain to perform (e.g. ciphering then hashing),
+pointers to the keys, lengths... etc.
+
+This session is created and is later attached to the crypto operation:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+   static struct rte_cryptodev_sym_session *
+   initialize_crypto_session(struct l2fwd_crypto_options *options,
+                   uint8_t cdev_id)
+   {
+           struct rte_crypto_sym_xform *first_xform;
+
+           if (options->xform_chain == L2FWD_CRYPTO_CIPHER_HASH) {
+                   first_xform = &options->cipher_xform;
+                   first_xform->next = &options->auth_xform;
+           } else if (options->xform_chain == L2FWD_CRYPTO_HASH_CIPHER) {
+                   first_xform = &options->auth_xform;
+                   first_xform->next = &options->cipher_xform;
+           } else if (options->xform_chain == L2FWD_CRYPTO_CIPHER_ONLY) {
+                   first_xform = &options->cipher_xform;
+           } else {
+                   first_xform = &options->auth_xform;
+           }
+
+           /* Setup Cipher Parameters */
+           return rte_cryptodev_sym_session_create(cdev_id, first_xform);
+   }
+
+   ...
+
+   port_cparams[i].session = initialize_crypto_session(options,
+                                port_cparams[i].dev_id);
+
+Crypto operation creation
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Given N packets received from a RX PORT, N crypto operations are allocated
+and filled:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+   if (nb_rx) {
+   /*
+    * If we can't allocate a crypto_ops, then drop
+    * the rest of the burst and dequeue and
+    * process the packets to free offload structs
+    */
+   if (rte_crypto_op_bulk_alloc(
+                   l2fwd_crypto_op_pool,
+                   RTE_CRYPTO_OP_TYPE_SYMMETRIC,
+                   ops_burst, nb_rx) !=
+                                   nb_rx) {
+           for (j = 0; j < nb_rx; j++)
+                   rte_pktmbuf_free(pkts_burst[i]);
+
+           nb_rx = 0;
+   }
+
+After filling the crypto operation (including session attachment),
+the mbuf which will be transformed is attached to it::
+
+   op->sym->m_src = m;
+
+Since no destination mbuf is set, the source mbuf will be overwritten
+after the operation is done (in-place).
+
+Crypto operation enqueueing/dequeueing
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Once the operation has been created, it has to be enqueued in one of the crypto devices.
+Before doing so, for performance reasons, the operation stays in a buffer.
+When the buffer has enough operations (MAX_PKT_BURST), they are enqueued in the device,
+which will perform the operation at that moment:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+   static int
+   l2fwd_crypto_enqueue(struct rte_crypto_op *op,
+                   struct l2fwd_crypto_params *cparams)
+   {
+           unsigned lcore_id, len;
+           struct lcore_queue_conf *qconf;
+
+           lcore_id = rte_lcore_id();
+
+           qconf = &lcore_queue_conf[lcore_id];
+           len = qconf->op_buf[cparams->dev_id].len;
+           qconf->op_buf[cparams->dev_id].buffer[len] = op;
+           len++;
+
+           /* enough ops to be sent */
+           if (len == MAX_PKT_BURST) {
+                   l2fwd_crypto_send_burst(qconf, MAX_PKT_BURST, cparams);
+                   len = 0;
+           }
+
+           qconf->op_buf[cparams->dev_id].len = len;
+           return 0;
+   }
+
+   ...
+
+   static int
+   l2fwd_crypto_send_burst(struct lcore_queue_conf *qconf, unsigned n,
+                   struct l2fwd_crypto_params *cparams)
+   {
+           struct rte_crypto_op **op_buffer;
+           unsigned ret;
+
+           op_buffer = (struct rte_crypto_op **)
+                           qconf->op_buf[cparams->dev_id].buffer;
+
+           ret = rte_cryptodev_enqueue_burst(cparams->dev_id,
+                           cparams->qp_id, op_buffer, (uint16_t) n);
+
+           crypto_statistics[cparams->dev_id].enqueued += ret;
+           if (unlikely(ret < n)) {
+                   crypto_statistics[cparams->dev_id].errors += (n - ret);
+                   do {
+                           rte_pktmbuf_free(op_buffer[ret]->sym->m_src);
+                           rte_crypto_op_free(op_buffer[ret]);
+                   } while (++ret < n);
+           }
+
+           return 0;
+   }
+
+After this, the operations are dequeued from the device, and the transformed mbuf
+is extracted from the operation. Then, the operation is freed and the mbuf is
+forwarded as it is done in the L2 forwarding application.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+   /* Dequeue packets from Crypto device */
+   do {
+           nb_rx = rte_cryptodev_dequeue_burst(
+                           cparams->dev_id, cparams->qp_id,
+                           ops_burst, MAX_PKT_BURST);
+
+           crypto_statistics[cparams->dev_id].dequeued +=
+                           nb_rx;
+
+           /* Forward crypto'd packets */
+           for (j = 0; j < nb_rx; j++) {
+                   m = ops_burst[j]->sym->m_src;
+
+                   rte_crypto_op_free(ops_burst[j]);
+                   l2fwd_simple_forward(m, portid);
+           }
+   } while (nb_rx == MAX_PKT_BURST);
