The document discusses the performance of the Open Data Plane (ODP) with IPSec offload on the NXP LS2088A platform. It highlights a demo that showcases bi-directional traffic forwarding with IPSec tunneling, achieving 20 Gbps throughput using 64 ESP AES128/SHA256-128 tunnels on 8 ARM cores, which is approximately 11 times the throughput of the native Linux IP stack. The document emphasizes the efficiency and enhanced performance of the IPSec application in this specific hardware setup.
