The IESG has received a request from the IP Security Maintenance and Extensions WG (ipsecme) to consider the following document: - 'IP-TFS: Aggregation and Fragmentation Mode for ESP and its Use for IP Traffic Flow Security' <draft-ietf-ipsecme-iptfs-12.txt> as Proposed Standard
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the last-c...@ietf.org mailing lists by 2022-05-18. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to i...@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document describes a mechanism for aggregation and fragmentation of IP packets when they are being encapsulated in ESP payload. 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 IPsec 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-sized, constant-send-rate IPsec tunnel. The solution allows for congestion control as well as non- constant send-rate usage. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ipsecme-iptfs/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. _______________________________________________ IPsec mailing list IPsec@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipsec
