CONDITIONAL HARDWARE ACCELERATION OF SECURE FORWARD ERROR CORRECTION (FEC) PROCESSING

Abstract:

It is determined whether hardware acceleration is available for the incoming data packet. Responsive to hardware acceleration availability, and based on the received FEC conditions, it is determined, for a session associated with the incoming data packet, whether to hardware decrypt the incoming data packet before decoding the incoming data packet or to hardware decrypt after decoding the incoming data packet.
