KVM/QEMU
KVM/QEMU virtio-fs is an alternative to 9pfs:
In January 2021, I did a few quick initial tests. The results are promising. The performance was great. Building libreswan was quick 44/240 seconds. It might also possible to boot from a host directory. In combination with btrfs could be a good choice.
- Missing features virt-install do not have necessary support to create VM with right options such as NUMA settings, big memory libvirtd.
- Systemd mount services seems to miss support.
Require Fedora 33: libvirt 6.2, qemu 5.0, kernel 5.4
- libvirt 6.2 Fedora 33. F33
- RH BZ libvirtd merge tracking the request
- QEMU 5.0 added support for virtiofsd. F33??
- virtio-fs Mainline kernel 5.4
- virtiofs RFC patches
KVM/QEMU + vsock NFS to replace 9pfs
KVM support for vsock and nfs support could have a better performance than 9pfs. This work could be interesting to libreswan KVM testing. It started in 2015. Slowly picking up, as 2018 it seems AWS and firecracker is pushing it. We are almost there.

Linux Kernel developments
XFRM Offload : starting 4.14
* NAT support ??? * What if the interface is a member of bridge? can libreswan/strongswan configure SA correctly? bridge * what if the packets arrive on different interface would that get decrypted correctly? * Bonded NIC card
XFRM and XDP
* idea presentation Steffen Klassert Linux Netconf, Boston, June, 2019

Userspace IPsec Stacks
Over last few years specialized user space IPSec(ESP) stacks and IKE implementations are becoming popular.
VPP + DPDK (Userspace ESP + IKE)
VPP has its own IKEv2 and ESP implimentation.
Snabb ESP userspace stack
Snabb as of 2020 has ESP. No IKE, it can easily use of the shelf IKE say strongswan for IKE and and few command line calls to install snabb esp Snabb FOSDEM 2020 snabb ipsec podcast Strongswan inegeration
