IPSEC_SPIGRP(5) 						  [FIXME: manual]						   IPSEC_SPIGRP(5)

NAME

       ipsec_spigrp - list IPSEC Security Association groupings

SYNOPSIS

       ipsec spigrp
	     cat/proc/net/ipsec_spigrp

OBSOLETE

       Note that spigrp is only supported on the classic KLIPS stack. It is not supported on any other stack and will be completely removed in
       future versions. A replacement command still needs to be designed

DESCRIPTION

       /proc/net/ipsec_spigrp is a read-only file that lists groups of IPSEC Security Associations (SAs).

       An entry in the IPSEC extended routing table can only point (via an SAID) to one SA. If more than one transform must be applied to a given
       type of packet, this can be accomplished by setting up several SAs with the same destination address but potentially different SPIs and
       protocols, and grouping them with ipsec_spigrp(8).

       The SA groups are listed, one line per connection/group, as a sequence of SAs to be applied (or that should have been applied, in the case
       of an incoming packet) from inside to outside the packet. An SA is identified by its SAID, which consists of protocol ("ah", "esp", "comp"
       or "tun"), SPI (with '.' for IPv4 or ':' for IPv6 prefixed hexadecimal number ) and destination address (IPv4 dotted quad or IPv6 coloned
       hex) prefixed by '@', in the format <proto><af><spi>@<dest>.

EXAMPLES

       tun.3d0@192.168.2.110
	   comp.3d0@192.168.2.110 esp.187a101b@192.168.2.110 ah.187a101a@192.168.2.110

       is a group of 3 SAs, destined for 192.168.2.110 with an IPv4-in-IPv4 tunnel SA applied first with an SPI of 3d0 in hexadecimal, followed by
       a Deflate compression header to compress the packet with CPI of 3d0 in hexadecimal, followed by an Encapsulating Security Payload header to
       encrypt the packet with SPI 187a101b in hexadecimal, followed by an Authentication Header to authenticate the packet with SPI 187a101a in
       hexadecimal, applied from inside to outside the packet. This could be an incoming or outgoing group, depending on the address of the local
       machine.

       tun:3d0@3049:1::2
	   comp:3d0@3049:1::2 esp:187a101b@3049:1::2 ah:187a101a@3049:1::2

       is a group of 3 SAs, destined for 3049:1::2 with an IPv6-in-IPv6 tunnel SA applied first with an SPI of 3d0 in hexadecimal, followed by a
       Deflate compression header to compress the packet with CPI of 3d0 in hexadecimal, followed by an Encapsulating Security Payload header to
       encrypt the packet with SPI 187a101b in hexadecimal, followed by an Authentication Header to authenticate the packet with SPI 187a101a in
       hexadecimal, applied from inside to outside the packet. This could be an incoming or outgoing group, depending on the address of the local
       machine.
