Abstract:

   This document describes the Enhanced Encapsulating Security Payload
   (EESP) protocol, which builds on the existing IP Encapsulating
   Security Payload (ESP) protocol.  It is designed to modernize and
   overcome limitations in the ESP protocol.

   EESP adds Session IDs (e.g., to support CPU pinning and QoS support
   based on the inner traffic flow), changes some previously mandatory
   fields to optional, and moves the ESP trailer into the EESP header.
   Additionally, EESP adds header options adapted from IPv6 to allow for
   future extension.  New header options are defined which add a crypt-
   offset to allow for exposing inner flow information for middlebox
   use.
