Subject: Is NET_KEY (native IPSec stack in Linux) asynchronous?

Hello,

I am planning to use NET_KEY (the Linux IPSec stack) with hardware
acceleration cards that let me offload operations related to
encryption, crypto digest and compression.
The acceleration card API is asynchronous. I just want to know if
NET_KEY itself is asynchronous so that I can utilize the card properly
by integrating its API with NET_KEY.

Thank you for your time.

Regards,
Hiren
