Abstract

This document describes the Wrapped Encapsulating Security Payload v2 (WESPv2) protocol, which builds on the Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) [RFC4303]. It is designed to overcome limitations of the ESP protocol to expose inner flow information to the network in a transparent way. To do so, it adapts IPv6 Extension header options to WESPv2 where flow identitiers can be stored. It also defines a Crypt Offset to allow intermediate devices to read some header bytes at the beginning of the inner packet. In particular, this preserves the original use-case of WESP [RFC5840].
