+MTU setting
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Although the user can set the MTU separately on PF and VF ports, the ixgbe NIC
+only supports one global MTU per physical port.
+So when the user sets different MTUs on PF and VF ports in one physical port,
+the real MTU for all these PF and VF ports is the largest value set.
+This behavior is based on the kernel driver behavior.
+
+VF MAC address setting
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+On ixgbe, the concept of "pool" can be used for different things depending on
+the mode. In VMDq mode, "pool" means a VMDq pool. In IOV mode, "pool" means a
+VF.
+
+There is no RTE API to add a VF's MAC address from the PF. On ixgbe, the
+``rte_eth_dev_mac_addr_add()`` function can be used to add a VF's MAC address,
+as a workaround.
+
+
+Inline crypto processing support
+--------------------------------
+
+Inline IPsec processing is supported for ``RTE_SECURITY_ACTION_TYPE_INLINE_CRYPTO``
+mode for ESP packets only:
+
+- ESP authentication only: AES-128-GMAC (128-bit key)
+- ESP encryption and authentication: AES-128-GCM (128-bit key)
+
+IPsec Security Gateway Sample Application supports inline IPsec processing for
+ixgbe PMD.
+
+For more details see the IPsec Security Gateway Sample Application and Security
+library documentation.
