Abstract
The IPsec protocol suite is used to provide privacy and
authentication services at the IP layer. Several documents are used
to describe this protocol suite. The interrelationship and
organization of the various documents covering the IPsec protocol are
discussed here. An explanation of what to find in which document,
and what to include in new Encryption Algorithm and Authentication
Algorithm documents are described.
