I have these information:
o I read rfc2401, it is about ipsec.
  I think IPSec in linux is implemented with xfrm.
  And xfrm has a few data structures that correspond to IPSec ones.
  Made some notes while reading, see below.
o archive.linuxsymposium.org/ols2003/Proceedings/
	All-Reprints/Reprint-Yoshifuji-OLS2003.pdf
o I looked at the mipl code (the kernel part, mip6.c) it uses xfrm too.
  (bk clone bk://mobile-ipv6.org/linux-2.6-mip6)

You can dload my notes here: delfin.unideb.hu/~feketga/xfrm
Though i will delete them after time.

And of course if you get to know anything about xfrm I would really
appreciate if you shared it with me. Thanks in advance.

Bye,
