Added the RegEx library which provides an API for offload of regular
expressions search operations to hardware or software accelerator devices.
+* **Added eCPRI protocol support in rte_flow.**
+
+ The ``ECPRI`` item has been added to support eCPRI packet offloading for
+ 5G network.
* **Introduced send packet scheduling on the timestamps.**
* **Updated the OCTEON TX2 crypto PMD.**
- Added Chacha20-Poly1305 AEAD algorithm support in OCTEON TX2 crypto PMD.
+ * Added Chacha20-Poly1305 AEAD algorithm support in OCTEON TX2 crypto PMD.
+
+ * Updated the OCTEON TX2 crypto PMD to support ``rte_security`` lookaside
+ protocol offload for IPsec.
* **Added support for BPF_ABS/BPF_IND load instructions.**
which are used to access packet data in a safe manner. Currently JIT support
for these instructions is implemented for x86 only.
+* **Added new testpmd forward mode.**
+
+ Added new ``5tswap`` forward mode to testpmd.
+ the ``5tswap`` swaps source and destination in layers 2,3,4
+ for ipv4 and ipv6 in L3 and UDP and TCP in L4.
+
* **Added flow performance test application.**
Added new application to test ``rte_flow`` performance, including:
See the :doc:`../sample_app_ug/l2_forward_real_virtual` for more
details of this parameter usage.
+* **Updated ipsec-secgw sample application.**
+
+ Added ``rte_flow`` based rules, which allows hardware parsing and steering
+ of ingress packets to specific NIC queues.
+ See the :doc:`../sample_app_ug/ipsec_secgw` for more details.
