draft-ietf-ipsec-esp-v3-01.txt: extended sequence number
I've got some question regarding to extended sequence number documented
in ESPv3 (01 draft). clarification is appreciated.
In section 2.2.1, it is mentioned that higher 32bit of extended
sequence number is included in ICV. If this is the case, I guess
the use of extended sequence number MUST be negotiated by SA management
protocol (instead of "SHOULD" in 01) as the use of extended sequence
number changes the wire packet format used for ICV computation.
if one end uses extended sequence number and the other doesn't, they
will compute ICV differently.
packet diagram in section 2 seems a little bit confusing with respect
to extended sequence number case (sequence number in the diagram has
only 32bits).
