> In ingress side, application will receive regular IP packets, without any IPsec
> related info. Application will do a selector check (SP-SA
> check) by making use of the metadata from the packet. The device-specific
> metadata in mbuf would aid in determing the security session which
> processed the packet.
> 
> In egress side, the plain packet would be submitted to the driver. The packet
> will have optional metadata, which could be used to identify the security
> session associated with the packet.
