|
|
1.3.5 |
Connection per Second (CPS) Improvements |
Made CPS performance improvements for Hardware TLS offload. |
|
NGINX Crash Recovery |
Added the ability to continue forking new child processes in NGINX application even when a crash takes place. The number of new processes that can be created in a crash scenario is set using XLIO_NGINX_WORKERS_NUM. |
|
|
1.2.9 |
IPv6 support |
[Beta] Added support for the latest Internet Protocol version IPv6. Note: Support for IPv6 at beta level involves some limitations that can be viewed under Known Issues. |
|
TLS |
Added support for TLS v1.2: 256 bits; TLS v1.3: 128 bits; and TLS v1.3: 256 bits. |
|
|
C++11 Standard Support |
Product source code is migrated to C++11 standard requirements. |
|
|
1.1.8 |
Security |
TLS data-path (Tx and Rx) offload allows the NIC to accelerate encryption, decryption, and authentication of AES-GCM (AES128-GCM, TLS v1.2). TLS offload handles data as it goes through the device without storing it, but only updating its context. This results in enhanced host CPU utilization and TLS throughput. |
|
NGINX with QUIC configuration support |
Added QUIC transport protocol, explicitly designed to support multiplexed connections without depending on a single TCP connection. |
|
|
Performance Improvement |
Added Hardware Large Receive Offload (HW LRO) support: Large receive offload (LRO) is a technique for increasing the inbound throughput of high-bandwidth network connections by aggregating multiple incoming TCP packets from a single stream into a larger buffer before they are passed higher up the networking stack. Increased Concurrent Connections maintaining high-wire speed: Supports vertical scaling, limited by available RAM. |
|
|
1.0.6 |
TX Flow: Zero Copy |
Added support for zero-copy socket send flag MSG_ZEROCOPY with queueing completion notifications on the socket error queue. |
|
TCP Acceleration (kernel bypass) for NGINX |
Added TCP acceleration for NGINX high-performance HTTP server and reverse proxy adaptation. |
|
|
uTLS – User Space TLS Offload |
TLS hardware offload (Transport Layer Security) is a widely-deployed network protocol used for securing TCP connections on the Internet and accelerating TLS encryption. |
