The 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-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).

Ah,yes, that makes sense. I’ll have a read around then - thanks.

But, yeah, driver mode seems plenty fast enough and unless traffic goes up over 10x we’re fine for now.

Always good to have a plan, though …
