RSVP Extensions for IPSEC Data Flows
Status of this Memo
This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the
Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet
Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state
and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
Abstract
This document presents extensions to Version 1 of RSVP. These
extensions permit support of individual data flows using RFC 1826, IP
Authentication Header (AH) or RFC 1827, IP Encapsulating Security
Payload (ESP). RSVP Version 1 as currently specified can support the
IPSEC protocols, but only on a per address, per protocol basis not on
a per flow basis. The presented extensions can be used with both
IPv4 and IPv6.
