The max data limit is 15 sgs where each sg contains data of mtu size .
we are running a netperf udp stream test over ipsec tunnel .The ipsec tunnel
is established between two hosts which are directly connected

Are you actually getting 15-element SG lists from IPsec? What is
generating an skb with 15-element SG lists?

we have established the ipsec tunnel in transport mode using ip xfrm.
and running traffic using netserver and netperf.

In server side we are running
netserver -4
In client side we are running
"netperf -H <serverip> -p <port> -t UDP_STREAM  -Cc -- -m 21k"
where the packet size is 21k ,which is then fragmented into 15 ip fragments
each of mtu size.

I'm lacking a bit of context here, but this should generate 15 IP
packets that are encrypted one by one.
