IPSec over TCP

Hi,

I was wondering what is the status of IPSec over TCP. If nobody is working on
it I would like to give it a try. Please share with me whatever
links/RFCs/hints you think will help.

Thanks,
tavi

Hi,

here is a discussion thread we started about the matter :
http://lists.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/pipermail/vpnc-devel/2006-August/000948.html
You'll find some pointers and an intersting discussion about kernel IPSec.

Unfortunately, I miss some serious background/experience to start the
project alone.

I think so too :-)

As far as I know, nobody is working on it. I tried to revrese engineer
the encapsulation format. The result can be seen in Wireshark.
There are some elements in the trailer that I have no idea what they
mean. Once we have that information or assume that the missing information
might be irrelevant some vollunteer is needed to implement the tcp
transport mechanism. I might be able to provide some hints but not much
more help due to time constraints.

Ciao
