Abstract: Techniques for generating a per-packet initialization vector for high bandwidth encryption engines in a multipathing IP network are described herein. In examples, a network switch of a first datacenter site may receive a data packet to be sent to a second datacenter site over a network. The data packet may be encrypted according to a virtual extensible LAN (VxLAN) protocol and to be transmitted in a VxLAN tunnel created for the first datacenter site and the second datacenter site. An encryption engine implemented at the network switch may generate an initialization vector (IV) for the data packet based on a packet number (PN) associated with the data packet. The encryption engine may use the IV and information associated with a security association (SA) assigned to the packet to encrypt the data packet. In some examples, a full 64-bit PN may be used to compute the IV for the data packet.

Therefore, when a data request packet is received, it may be determined, based on a source IP address, a destination IP address, and the forwarding information that are carried in the data request packet, whether to forward the data request packet.
