Hello, - I have a little question which and I hope somebody can help. - I am trying to learn and understand what XFRM (which is used in IPSec, for example ) API is about. Is there some reliable document/RFC/link which explains in detail more about it ? As I understand , XFRM is used by the USAGI project; in OLS 2004 proceeding , I saw a lecture tilted: "IPv6 IPsec and Mobile IPv6 implementation of Linux", by Kazunori MIYAZAWA and Masahide NAKAMURA from USAGI Project." It says there: "XFRM architecture and stackable destination were introduced into the kernel for IPsec packet processing [7]. They can be not only for IPsec packet processing, but also general packet processing such as MIPv6. USAGI Project decided to expand the architecture to implement MIPv6". I googled for it and did not find a detailed doc about XFRM architecture. and stackable destination. Any ideas ? Regards, Ian
