Xelera Net is a SmartNIC software which accelerates IPsec, TLS, and DDoS detection applications.
Xelera Net is a SmartNIC software which accelerates IPsec, TLS, and DDoS detection applications.
Xelera NET is a SmartNIC software suite that accelerates IPsec network security by offloading encryption and decryption workloads from CPUs to SmartNIC hardware.
Designed for high-throughput datacenter networks, Xelera NET enables secure networking at 400Gbps bandwidth while maintaining low latency and high session scalability.
SmartNICs are programmable network interface cards that offload networking and security workloads from CPUs to dedicated hardware accelerators, enabling significantly higher network performance.
Key Performance Metrics
As datacenter infrastructure moves toward 100GbE networking, IPsec encryption increasingly becomes a performance bottleneck.
When encryption workloads compete with application workloads for CPU resources, infrastructure performance and efficiency can be affected. This can negatively affect both network throughput and overall infrastructure performance.
Common challenges include:
Infrastructure teams need a way to maintain secure networking while sustaining high-bandwidth encrypted traffic in modern datacenter environments.
Xelera Net provides a SmartNIC-based framework for accelerating IPsec security functions.
The solution offloads compute-intensive encryption and decryption tasks from CPUs to SmartNIC hardware, enabling secure networking at high bandwidth.
Xelera Net includes:
This architecture allows infrastructure teams to deploy IPsec acceleration without redesigning their existing networking environment.
Xelera Net enables high-throughput, low-latency IPsec processing by offloading encryption and decryption workloads from CPUs to SmartNIC hardware, while maintaining compatibility with standard networking environments.
100 - 400Gbps IPsec encryption and decryption
Up to 16,384 encryption and decryption sessions
AES-GCM 128 / 256 RFC 4303 compliant IPsec ESP
Linux and FreeBSD drivers DPDK-enabled networking stack API for security association and policy management
Xelera Net performance was evaluated using an RFC2544 throughput benchmark.
The test environment included SmartNIC hardware processing encrypted traffic between network ports while traffic integrity and throughput were measured using a network analyzer.
Key results include:
These results demonstrate the ability of the SmartNIC architecture to sustain high-bandwidth encrypted traffic.
