Antony's unsorted pages that I want to access quickly. These are mostly related to IPsec/libreswan and when I think I know this page exist but where is it.

KVM/QEMU

KVM/QEMU virtiofs to replace 9pfs: libvirt 6.2, qemu 5.0, kernel 5.4

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 Per CPU efforts

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
