Re: [Hipsec] [PATCH 2.6.12.2] XFRM: BEET IPsec mode for Linux

Folks,
I'm sorry but the sent patch included in the email seems to be broken.

Sincerely

Hi folks,

we have been working for three months to implement a new IPsec mode,
the "BEET" mode, for Linux. Below is a link to the BEET specification
and
the abstract:

http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-nikander-esp-beet-mode-03.txt

Abstract

   This document specifies a new mode, called Bound End-to-End Tunnel
   (BEET) mode, for IPsec ESP.  The new mode augments the existing ESP
   tunnel and transport modes.  For end-to-end tunnels, the new mode
   provides limited tunnel mode semantics without the regular tunnel
   mode overhead.  The mode is intended to support new uses of ESP,
   including mobility and multi-address multi-homing.

The BEET mode is required by the Host Identity Protocol (HIP), which
provides authenticated Diffie-Hellman for end-hosts, as well as
mobility and multihoming support. The BEET mode is also useful for
other similar protocols being developed at the IETF.

Ericsson has already developed a BEET patch for *BSD. Our patch
provides the similar functionality, but using the XFRM architecture.
The patch is included at the end of this email and also at the following
URL:
http://hipl.hiit.fi/beet/beet-patch-v1.0-2.6.12.2

We have made some testing in order to assure the quality of the
patch. All the tests passed, and below is a list of them:

* Does not break transport and tunnel mode (with CONFIG_XFRM_BEET
on/off)
* All inner-outer combinations with varying test applications:
  ICMP, ICMPv6, FTP, SSH, nc, nc6
* Works with fragmented packets
* Interoperability with HIPL
* Real machines, virtual machines (vmware)
* Tested with long data streams
