HP-UX IPSec Overview

Authentication Header (AH)

 

Tunnel Mode

 

In tunnel mode, IPSec encloses, or encapsulates, the original IP

 

datagram, including the original IP header, within a second IP

 

datagram. All of the original IP datagram, including all fields of the

 

original header, is authenticated.

 

IPv6 In IPv6 AH tunnel mode, the packet layout is the same as IPv4 AH

 

tunnel mode, except that the original and new (outer) IP headers may

 

include header extensions.
