+IPSec on Intel QAT
+------------------
+
+VPP IPSec performance tests are using DPDK cryptodev device driver in
+combination with HW cryptodev devices - Intel QAT 8950 50G - present in
+LF FD.io physical testbeds. DPDK cryptodev can be used for all IPSec
+data plane functions supported by VPP.
+
+Currently |csit-release| implements following IPSec test cases:
+
+- AES-GCM, CBC-SHA1 ciphers, in combination with IPv4 routed-forwarding
+  with Intel xl710 NIC.
+- CBC-SHA1 ciphers, in combination with LISP-GPE overlay tunneling for
+  IPv4-over-IPv4 with Intel xl710 NIC.
