  The Introduction provides a clear description of the situation.  However,
  I find the Abstract very confusing.  I believe that some wordsmithing will
  greatly improve the Abstract.

  The use of IPsec, TLS, or any other protocol that provides authentication
  will not fit well into the proposed architecture.  The integrity check
  cannot be performed until the entire packet (or record in the case of TLS)
  is available in memory.  So, the data must be copied from the I/O interface
  to memory, which may involve some reassembly, before the integrity check
  can be performed.  This issue should be discussed in the second paragraph
  of the security considerations.

  The security considerations section talks about 'threats.'  The use does
  not align with the definitions in RFC 2828.  I suggest some rewording. I
  think the authors ought to look review the definition of 'vulnerability'
  in RFC 2828.
