This patchset adds support for IPsec extended (64-bit) sequence numbers for
esp as defined in RFC 4303. Also it adds support for anti-replay windows
bigger than 32 packets. To make use of big anti-replay windows and extended
sequence numbers, new userspace tools are needed. An example patch for
iproute2 is provided with this patchset.
Known issues:
- Not tested against another implementation of IPsec extended
sequence numbers.
Changes from v1:
- Use a SG list with three 4 byte entries for the associated data.
- Fix the sequence number to be in network byte order when using AEAD
algorithms.
- Rebased to net-next-2.6 current.
The patchset is also available at branch 'net-next-esn' of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/klassert/linux-2.6-stk.git
