I am reading diet-esp right now, and from what you said, will skip minimal-esp at least for now, as I have too much else on my plate (as you well know).

SCHC is explicitly called out in the Intro without referencing the drafts of the time.  To avoid any blocking drafts?  Would you now have 8724 as a normative reference?  I would think you would need that for the IANA section to ask for the protocol number?

For my use case, it is ESP in transport, and most likely only with UDP (but would not want to risk boxing UAs into that corner).

I will read some more, but I do think that the SCHC rule ID will be both below to compress ESP, and above for the transport/application.  But I am suredly getting ahead of myself...

minimal esp describes how to implement a standard ESP in a constrained environment with minimal options as well as variants to minimize the impact of the implementation on the device.

diet-esp defines how to compress / decompress ESP. The description is pretty much complete. We implemented it on Contiki. We were wondering whether to adapt with SCHC. It would be cleaner in my opinion, but that is just a thought.

    Daniel and Tero,

    How do diet-esp and minimal-esp intersect?

    minimal-esp is, it seems ready for publication, so nothing really
    changing it is possible.

    But what does diet-esp do instead?

    Squeezing down esp and adding support for SCHC ('easy' by adding
    it as an IP Protocol) is of interest to me...

        You might want to check the Diet ESP work that was done in
        the IPsecME
        WG few years back. It mostly died because there was not enough
        interest to work on the drafts or implementations.

        https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-mglt-ipsecme-diet-esp/07/

        This is still in the IPsecME charter item so if there is
        interest to
        start working on this then IPsecME WG has space for it:

            A growing number of use cases for constrained networks -
        but not
            limited to those networks - have shown interest in
        reducing ESP
            (resp. IKEv2) overhead by compressing ESP (resp IKEv2)
        fields. The
            WG will define extensions of ESP and IKEv2 to enable ESP
        header
            compression.

            Possible starting points are draft-mglt-ipsecme-diet-esp,
            draft-mglt-ipsecme-ikev2-diet-esp-extension,
            draft-smyslov-ipsecme-ikev2-compression and
            draft-smyslov-ipsecme-ikev2-compact.
