Do you have a model number for an Nvidia offload card? I thought that only Netronome did them and that they were kinda long in the tooth now. I’d love to get my hands on one.
- jeroenhd 1y agoThe trick for anything Nvidia and networking related, of course, is to search for "Mellanox", the network card manufacturer they bought. This forum post suggests the ConnextX-6 might work: https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/connectx-6-dx-crypto-and-secure-boot-xdp-hardware-offload-not-possible-because-of-ipsec/206198 https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/connectx-6-dx-crypto-a... However, details are very hard to come by. Maybe the "offload" they offer isn't actually offloading anything and I've just misunderstood them when I last heard about them (and kernel XDP really is that fast).
