Benoit and Fan,

thanks for your review comments. I think I have addressed almost all
of them - new patchset is doing the CI dance now.

What is the correct protocol for marking gerrit comments as "done"?
Should I mark them done after submitting updated code, or does the
original commenter do that?

I reworked the buffer metadata usage a bit so that this change no longer
consumes a vnet flag.

I haven't yet shifted the code that is currently in plugins/iptfs to be
in, for example, vnet/ipsec/iptfs. Should we resolve any issues with the
current change set first?

Should I plan to incorporate the (approximately 20) files of plugins/iptfs
into vnet/ipsec/iptfs as part of this existing gerrit change, or as a
separate gerrit change?

thanks,

 ~!paul

>This commit is the first of three IPTFS commits. It comprises the
>changes to vnet/ipsec to work with the IPTFS plugin:

>>    1. Changes to vnet/ipsec to support IPTFS, consisting of:
>>       a. registration/callback mechanism by which a TFS plugin
>>          can register its entry points
>>       b. updates to the ipsec api to support TFS parameters
>>       c. updates to SA addition and format to call into the TFS plugin
>>       d. updates to esp encode/decode related to the additional
>>          next-protocol value


>The remaining IPTFS commits are:

>>    2. A new iptfs plugin, which implements all of the timing,
>>       encoding, and decoding for the RFC 9347 format.

>>    3. Unit tests that exercise the TFS-specific parts of the API
>>       and the encoding/decoding path of TFS.
