Hi Luca, We don’t yet support TSO because it requires support within all of vpp (think tunnels). Still, it’s on our list.
As for crypto offload, we do have support for IPSec offload with QAT cards and we’re now working with Ping and Ray from Intel on accelerating the TLS OpenSSL engine also with QAT cards.
