Vpp package includes an accelerated software IPSecusing the multi-buffer library.
My understanding is that due to US law, since this is a separate implementation from OpenSSL, It requires an export license.
We are covered upstream through Linux foundation.
Does Centos.org hold an export license for crypto?
Is this a question for the Centos board?
Thanks,

Perhaps, but it depends on a bit more clarity. I'd have to know a bit more about this specific case & can ask our friendly export compliance folks.
That said, the distro is distributed with the Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) for/from RHEL:
The gray area we might be in here is if the Vpp package is not in the upstream distro. Can you give more background on where it's derived from?

Karsten, thanks for your quick response.
I hope I have answered your question below.

Karsten, I don't understand your question that "...the VPP package is not in the upstream distro." If there is any other information that the board needs to help in the decision please let me know.
I have added some more information below about the vpp project and the multi-buffer crypto project and links to source code and upstream rpm repos.
More information about fd.io and the vpp project: https://wiki.fd.io/view/VPP The vpp upstream source code is here: https://gerrit.fd.io/r/#/admin/projects/vpp,branches VPP packages upstream are here: https://nexus.fd.io/content/repositories/fd.io.stable.1707.centos7/io/fd/vpp... Currently vpp upstream is built with a multi-buffer library tarball for the multi-buffer library from 01.org. The upstream source for the multi-buffer library linked with VPP is here: https://github.com/01org/intel-ipsec-mb We are planning to build RPMs for the multi-buffer library in this upstream project: https://wiki.fd.io/view/Rpm_dpdk, and https://gerrit.fd.io/r/#/admin/projects/rpm_dpdk,branches https://gerrit.fd.io/r/gitweb?p=rpm_dpdk.git;a=tree;h=refs/heads/master;hb=refs/heads/master
I am also adding Ed Warnicke who worked with Linux Foundation for export license for VPP for use of the multi-buffer library.
Thanks, --Tom

Tom, thanks, makes sense what you are asking. I've asked the question from the Right People and will get back to you ASAP.
