IPsec SA proposal of IKE



Hi folks, I'd like to make sense. 

	A <------------------> B
	   [IP][AH][ESP][ULP]

When we want to use SA bundle of AH and ESP constructed like above,
what should we do phase 2 of IKE ?

	1) we MUST do one quick mode.
	2) we SHOULD do one quick mode, and MAY do two quick mode.

There may be the situation when I want to make AH-SA between node
A and node B after ESP-SA was negotiated.  Of course, we can do
negotiate by using one quick mode with SA bundle after we delete
old policy.  So 2) seems good for interoperability.
But there may be policy problem.

1) means,
	A                           B
	-----------                 -----------
	HDR*, ...SA(AH+ESP)... -->
	                       <--  HDR*, ...SA(AH+ESP)...

2) means,
	A                           B
	-----------                 -----------
	HDR*, ...SA(AH+ESP)... -->
	                       <--  HDR*, ...SA(AH+ESP)...
    or
	A                           B
	-----------                 -----------
	HDR*, ...SA(AH)...     -->
	                       <--  HDR*, ...SA(AH)...

	HDR*, ...SA(ESP)...    -->
	                       <--  HDR*, ...SA(ESP)...
