                  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.
