A quick clarification on the current architecture doc regarding what is
required to be compliant for end-to-end host tunneling:

MUST: end-to-end host tunnel SA covers ALL transport IP between the two
hosts
NOT a MUST: end-to-end host tunnel SA per selector - for example one tunnel
to carry all UDP, another for all TCP

If implementations supported the latter, then some others might not
interoperate if they only support the former.

Thanks,
