Abstract
This document describes some issues related to performing encryption at layer-3. In particular, routing protocol problems may result if the time-to-live (TTL) field in IPv4 or the Hop Limit field in IPv6 is decremented once before encapsulation [1][2]. Also, special provisions may be necessary within the encryptor devices if broadcast messages are to transition the encryptor pairs. Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) issues are also presented.
