Re: IPSec SA's contents



SA in the first message can contain multiple proposals
as suggestions for IPsec SA. SA in the second message
is a single proposal selected by the responder.

Items in a proposal may include:
- protocol: ESP or AH
- Encr algo
- Auth algo
- Hash Algo
- encapsulation mode: tunnel or transport
- DH group #
- SA lifetime (in seconds and/or in KBs)
- etc.

I hope this helps.
