>
> 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

> 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
