Hi Konstantin,

As per 19.02-rc1, documentation has to be updated along with the code base.

In my opinion this can come in the first patch

I and Pablo, thought about your comment, but the feature that is added 
in this patchset is split across multiple patches (mainly 7/10 and 8/10) 
and it would be improper to add documentation in any of these patches.
So, it would be good to have a separate patch which is added when the 
feature is completely there.

Hi Akhil,

Thanks for considering, as mentioned it is suggestion from my end how the document could have been updated.

Thanks

+* **Updated the ipsec-secgw sample application.**
+
+  The ``ipsec-secgw`` sample application has been updated to use the new
+  ``librte_ipsec`` library also added in this release.
+  The original functionality of ipsec-secgw is retained, a new command line
+  parameter ``-l`` has  been added to ipsec-secgw to use the IPsec library,
+  instead of the existing IPsec code in the application.
+
+  The IPsec library does not support all the functionality of the existing
+  ipsec-secgw application, its is planned to add the outstanding functionality
+  in future releases.
+
+  See :doc:`../sample_app_ug/ipsec_secgw` for more information.

+Test directory
+--------------
+
+The test directory contains scripts for testing the various encryption
+algorithms.
+
+The purpose of the scripts is to automate ipsec-secgw testing
+using another system running linux as a DUT.
+
+The user must setup the following environment variables:
+
+*   ``SGW_PATH``: path to the ipsec-secgw binary to test.
+
+*   ``REMOTE_HOST``: IP address/hostname of the DUT.
+
+*   ``REMOTE_IFACE``: interface name for the test-port on the DUT.
+
+*   ``ETH_DEV``: ethernet device to be used on the SUT by DPDK ('-w <pci-id>')
+
+Also the user can optionally setup:
+
+*   ``SGW_LCORE``: lcore to run ipsec-secgw on (default value is 0)
+
+*   ``CRYPTO_DEV``: crypto device to be used ('-w <pci-id>'). If none specified
+    appropriate vdevs will be created by the script
+
+Note that most of the tests require the appropriate crypto PMD/device to be
+available.
+
+Server configuration
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Two servers are required for the tests, SUT and DUT.
+
+Make sure the user from the SUT can ssh to the DUT without entering the password.
+To enable this feature keys must be setup on the DUT.
+
+``ssh-keygen`` will make a private & public key pair on the SUT.
+
+``ssh-copy-id`` <user name>@<target host name> on the SUT will copy the public
+key to the DUT. It will ask for credentials so that it can upload the public key.
+
+The SUT and DUT are connected through at least 2 NIC ports.
+
+One NIC port is expected to be managed by linux on both machines and will be
+used as a control path.
+
+The second NIC port (test-port) should be bound to DPDK on the SUT, and should
+be managed by linux on the DUT.
+
+The script starts ``ipsec-secgw`` with 2 NIC devices: ``test-port`` and
+``tap vdev``.
+
+It then configures the local tap interface and the remote interface and IPsec
+policies in the following way:
+
+Traffic going over the test-port in both directions has to be protected by IPsec.
+
+Traffic going over the TAP port in both directions does not have to be protected.
+
+i.e:
+
+DUT OS(NIC1)--(IPsec)-->(NIC1)ipsec-secgw(TAP)--(plain)-->(TAP)SUT OS
+
+SUT OS(TAP)--(plain)-->(TAP)psec-secgw(NIC1)--(IPsec)-->(NIC1)DUT OS
+
+It then tries to perform some data transfer using the scheme decribed above.
