Bug#1008044: ITP: openvpn-dco-dkms -- DCO (Data-Channel Offload) kernel module for OpenVPN



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Bernhard Schmidt <berni@debian.org>

* Package name    : openvpn-dco-dkms
  Version         : Git Snapshot
  Upstream Author : Antonio Quartulli <a@unstable.cc>
* URL             : https://github.com/OpenVPN/ovpn-dco
* License         : GPL-2.0
  Programming Lang: C
  Description     : DCO (Data-Channel Offload) kernel module for OpenVPN

OpenVPN Data Channel Offload in the linux kernel (ovpn-dco)
.
This kernel module allows OpenVPN to offload any data plane management to the
linux kernel, thus allowing it to exploit any Linux low level API, while
avoiding expensive and slow payload transfer between kernel space and user
space. You need a matching dco-enabled OpenVPN to use this, the feature is
supposed to land in OpenVPN 2.6.
.
This package uses DKMS to automatically build the ovpn-dco kernel module.
