Buffer Management for IPsec

[shganguly@hss.hns.com]

Hi,

This is regarding the buffer management issues for IPsec implementation.
Protocols like AH, ESP require that some extra fields have to be inserted
in between the original buffer.

As a result of this, for doing authentication, encrption requires that the
original
buffer be copied to another buffer, and then do the processing. This buffer
copy operation will result in a noticeable degradation in the performance
of the system.

Is there any way of getting over this? This problem is specifically for BITS
and BITW kind of implementation.
