Issue on input process of Linux native IPsec

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,
  We know that the output process of Linux native
IPsec fully uses the XFRM architecture. The order of
primal functions are xfrm_lookup(),
xfrm_tmpl_resolve(), xfrm_bundle_create() and
dst_output(). 
  The input process for IPsec is more simple than
output. The order of primal functions (in IPv4) are
xfrm4_rcv(), xfrm4_rcv_encap(), xfrm4_parse_spi(),
xfrm4_policy_check().
  But, Why should the input process also go throught
xfrm_lookup(), xfrm_tmpl_resolve(),
xfrm_bundle_create()? What's the purpose of this? 

  Thank you.

Best Regards,
Park Lee
