Re: Preliminary comment skip draft 03




Germano Caronni <caronni@tik.ee.ethz.ch> provided this diagram:

                                              encrypted part
     +---------------+-----------------------+====+========================+ 
     |32-bit SKIP SPI|64-bit MI network order|data|8bit next protocol field| 
     +---------------+-----------------------+====+========================+ 
     where MI is the number of bytes that were already encrypted with the 
     current Kp. 

Why do you want to limit the MI (a.k.a. IV) to the counter?  A random 
number works fine too.
