Is your elephant a gazelle?
summary
Describes enhancements to the FD.io/VPP open-source router to speed up large IPsec “elephant” flows on commodity hardware by detecting those flows and offloading their IPsec processing to dedicated hardware when available, distributing work across CPU cores while preserving packet ordering, and dynamically scaling compute resources up and down as elephant flows start and stop.
