The AES-NI MB PMD has current only been tested on Fedora 21 64-bit with gcc.
+The AES-NI MB PMD supports synchronous mode of operation with
+``rte_cryptodev_sym_cpu_crypto_process`` function call.

Features
--------
To build DPDK with the AESNI_MB_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 v0.53, which
-can be downloaded from `<https://github.com/01org/intel-ipsec-mb/archive/v0.53.zip>`.
+The latest version of the library supported by this PMD is v0.54, which
+can be downloaded from `<https://github.com/01org/intel-ipsec-mb/archive/v0.54.zip>`_.
.. code-block:: console
make
make install
+.. note::
+
+ Compilation of the Multi-Buffer library is broken when GCC < 5.0, if library <= v0.53.
+ If a lower GCC version than 5.0, the workaround proposed by the following link
+ should be used: `<https://github.com/intel/intel-ipsec-mb/issues/40>`_.
+
As a reference, the following table shows a mapping between the past DPDK versions
and the Multi-Buffer library version supported by them:
18.02 0.48
18.05 - 19.02 0.49 - 0.52
19.05 - 19.08 0.52
- 19.11+ 0.52 - 0.53
+ 19.11+ 0.52 - 0.54
