1.  I meant that my Ethernet device x540 is capable to do IPsec encryption in HW.
     What did you mean "a crypto device (SW or HW)" ?

2. I  also I enable the IESNI_GCM_PMD according the http://dpdk.org/doc/guides/cryptodevs/aesni_gcm.html ,   but still receive this error in init  (: unrecognized input "sa")


./ipsec-secgw -l 20,21 -n 4  --vdev "crypto_aesni_gcm" -- -p 0xf -P -u 0x3 --config="(0,0,20),(1,0,20),(2,0,21),(3,0,21)" -f ep-sample.cfg
