Inline crypto
-------------
-Supports inline crypto processing (e.g. inline IPsec). See Security library and PMD documentation for more details.
+Supports inline crypto processing defined by rte_security library to perform crypto
+operations of security protocol while packet is received in NIC. NIC is not aware
+of protocol operations. See Security library and PMD documentation for more details.

+Inline protocol
+---------------

+Supports inline protocol processing defined by rte_security library to perform
+protocol processing for the security protocol (e.g. IPsec, MACSEC) while the
+packet is received at NIC. The NIC is capable of understanding the security
+protocol operations. See security library and PMD documentation for more details.
