of security protocol operations offloaded to hardware based devices. The
library defines generic APIs to create and free security sessions which can
support full protocol offload as well as inline crypto operation with
-NIC or crypto devices. The framework currently only supports the IPSec protocol
-and associated operations, other protocols will be added in future.

Design Principles

+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Based on 3GPP TS 36.323 Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA);
+Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) specification

+
+
+.. note::
+
+ * Header Compression and decompression are not supported currently.
+
+Just like IPsec, in case of PDCP also header addition/deletion, cipher/
+de-cipher, integrity protection/verification is done based on the action
+type chosen.

Device Features and Capabilities
---------------------------------
Each driver (crypto or ethernet) defines its own private array of capabilities
for the operations it supports. Below is an example of the capabilities for a
-PMD which supports the IPSec protocol.
