Abstract

Implementing IPsec in hardware is a way to improve the forwarding performance of IPsec. However, the current IPsec ESP packet design, i.e., the position of ESP trailer, imposes a new overhead challenge for implementing IPsec in hardware. This document explains how this overhead challenge occurs and proposes the possible solutions.
