Abstract
A first host receives a packet from a first compute node for a second compute node of a second host. The payload is larger than a maximum transmission unit size. The first packet is encapsulated with an outer header. The first host analyzes a length of at least a portion of the outer header in determining a size of an encrypted segment of the payload. Then, the first host forms a plurality of packets where each packet in the packets includes an encrypted segment of the payload, a respective encryption header, and a respective authentication value. The payload of the first packet is segmented to form a plurality of encrypted segments based on the size. The first host sends the packets to the second host and receives an indication that a packet was not received. A second packet including the encrypted segment is sent to the second compute node.
