To build DPDK with the AESNI_GCM_PMD the user is required to download the multi-buffer
library from `here <https://github.com/01org/intel-ipsec-mb>`_
and compile it on their user system before building DPDK.
-The latest version of the library supported by this PMD is v0.48, which
-can be downloaded in `<https://github.com/01org/intel-ipsec-mb/archive/v0.48.zip>`_.
+The latest version of the library supported by this PMD is v0.49, which
+can be downloaded in `<https://github.com/01org/intel-ipsec-mb/archive/v0.49.zip>`_.
.. code-block:: console
- make
+ make
+ make install
As a reference, the following table shows a mapping between the past DPDK versions
and the external crypto libraries supported by them:
============= ================================
16.04 - 16.11 Multi-buffer library 0.43 - 0.44
17.02 - 17.05 ISA-L Crypto v2.18
- 17.08+ Multi-buffer library 0.46+
+ 17.08 - 18.02 Multi-buffer library 0.46 - 0.48
+ 18.05 Multi-buffer library 0.49
============= ================================
In order to enable this virtual crypto PMD, user must:
-* Export the environmental variable AESNI_MULTI_BUFFER_LIB_PATH with the path where
- the library was extracted.
-
* Build the multi buffer library (explained in Installation section).
* Set CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_AESNI_GCM=y in config/common_base.
