+dpdk-test-security-perf Application
+===================================
+
+The ``dpdk-test-security-perf`` tool is a Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK)
+utility to test rte_security session create/destroy rates. Test covers
supported
+combinations of cipher and auth algorithms.
+
+Limitations
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+* Tests only ESP tunnel mode with IPv4.
+
+Running the Application
+-----------------------
+
+EAL Command-line Options
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Please refer to :doc:`EAL parameters (Linux)
<../linux_gsg/linux_eal_parameters>`
+or :doc:`EAL parameters (FreeBSD) <../freebsd_gsg/freebsd_eal_parameters>` for
+a list of available EAL command-line options.
+
+Security Performance Options
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The following are the command-line options for the security performance
+application. They must be separated from the EAL options, shown in the
previous section,
+with a ``--`` separator:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ sudo ./dpdk-test-security-perf -- --nb-sess=163840 --inbound
+
+The command-line options are:
+
+* ``--help``
+ Display a help message and quit.
+
+* ``--nb-sess``
