+Acceleration
+############
+
+In this command tree, all hardware acceleration options will be handled.
+At the moment only `Intel® QAT`_ is supported
+
+**********
+Intel® QAT
+**********
+
+.. opcmd:: show system acceleration qat
+
+ use this command to check if there is an Intel® QAT supported Processor in
+ your system.
+
+ .. code-block::
+
+ vyos@vyos:~$ show system acceleration qat
+ 01:00.0 Co-processor [0b40]: Intel Corporation Atom Processor C3000 Series QuickAssist Technology [8086:19e2] (rev 11)
+
+ if there is non device the command will show ```No QAT device found```
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set system acceleration qat
+
+ if there is a supported device, enable Intel® QAT
+
+.. opcmd:: show system acceleration qat status
+
+ Check if the Intel® QAT device is up and ready to do the job.
+
+ .. code-block::
+
+ vyos@vyos:~$ show system acceleration qat status
+ Checking status of all devices.
+ There is 1 QAT acceleration device(s) in the system:
+ qat_dev0 - type: c3xxx, inst_id: 0, node_id: 0, bsf: 0000:01:00.0, #accel: 3 #engines: 6 state: up
+
+Operation Mode
+==============
+
+.. opcmd:: show system acceleration qat device <device> config
+
+ Show the full config uploaded to the QAT device.
+
+.. opcmd:: show system acceleration qat device <device> flows
+
+ Get an overview over the encryption counters.
+
+.. opcmd:: show system acceleration qat interrupts
+
+ Show binded qat device interrupts to certain core.
+
+
+Example
+=======
+
+Let's build a simple VPN between 2 Intel® QAT ready devices.
+
+Side A:
+
+.. code-block::
+
+ set interfaces vti vti1 address '192.168.1.2/24'
+ set vpn ipsec esp-group MyESPGroup proposal 1 encryption 'aes256'
+ set vpn ipsec esp-group MyESPGroup proposal 1 hash 'sha256'
+ set vpn ipsec ike-group MyIKEGroup proposal 1 dh-group '14'
+ set vpn ipsec ike-group MyIKEGroup proposal 1 encryption 'aes256'
+ set vpn ipsec ike-group MyIKEGroup proposal 1 hash 'sha256'
+ set vpn ipsec ipsec-interfaces interface 'eth0'
+ set vpn ipsec site-to-site peer 10.10.10.1 authentication mode 'pre-shared-secret'
+ set vpn ipsec site-to-site peer 10.10.10.1 authentication pre-shared-secret 'Qwerty123'
+ set vpn ipsec site-to-site peer 10.10.10.1 connection-type 'initiate'
+ set vpn ipsec site-to-site peer 10.10.10.1 default-esp-group 'MyESPGroup'
+ set vpn ipsec site-to-site peer 10.10.10.1 ike-group 'MyIKEGroup'
+ set vpn ipsec site-to-site peer 10.10.10.1 local-address '10.10.10.2'
+ set vpn ipsec site-to-site peer 10.10.10.1 vti bind 'vti1'
+
+Side B:
+
+.. code-block::
+
+ set interfaces vti vti1 address '192.168.1.1/24'
+ set vpn ipsec esp-group MyESPGroup proposal 1 encryption 'aes256'
+ set vpn ipsec esp-group MyESPGroup proposal 1 hash 'sha256'
+ set vpn ipsec ike-group MyIKEGroup proposal 1 dh-group '14'
+ set vpn ipsec ike-group MyIKEGroup proposal 1 encryption 'aes256'
+ set vpn ipsec ike-group MyIKEGroup proposal 1 hash 'sha256'
+ set vpn ipsec ipsec-interfaces interface 'eth0'
+ set vpn ipsec site-to-site peer 10.10.10.2 authentication mode 'pre-shared-secret'
+ set vpn ipsec site-to-site peer 10.10.10.2 authentication pre-shared-secret 'Qwerty123'
+ set vpn ipsec site-to-site peer 10.10.10.2 connection-type 'initiate'
+ set vpn ipsec site-to-site peer 10.10.10.2 default-esp-group 'MyESPGroup'
+ set vpn ipsec site-to-site peer 10.10.10.2 ike-group 'MyIKEGroup'
+ set vpn ipsec site-to-site peer 10.10.10.2 local-address '10.10.10.1'
+ set vpn ipsec site-to-site peer 10.10.10.2 vti bind 'vti1'
+
+a bandwidth test over the VPN got these results:
