Detailed Description

Configure soft and hard lifetime of an IPsec SA

Lifetime of an IPsec SA would specify the maximum number of packets or bytes that can be processed. IPsec operations would start failing once any hard limit is reached.

Soft limits can be specified to generate notification when the SA is approaching hard limits for lifetime. For inline operations, reaching soft expiry limit would result in raising an eth event for the same. For lookaside operations, this would result in a warning returned in rte_crypto_op.aux_flags.
