This document describes a mechanism for aggregation and fragmentation
of IP packets when they are being encapsulated in Encapsulating
Security Payload (ESP). This new payload type can be used for various
purposes, such as decreasing encapsulation overhead for small IP
packets; however, the focus in this document is to enhance IP Traffic
Flow Security (IP-TFS) by adding Traffic Flow Confidentiality (TFC)
to encrypted IP-encapsulated traffic. TFC is provided by obscuring
the size and frequency of IP traffic using a fixed-size,
constant-send-rate IPsec tunnel. The solution allows for congestion
control, as well as nonconstant send-rate usage.
This document is a product of the IP Security Maintenance and Extensions
Working Group of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard.
