Subject: IPv6 auth header length calculation patch
Date: Sat, 04 Jan 2003 08:03:45 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <873co8dhr2.wl@ipinfusion.com> (raw)

This is a USAGI patch to fix IPv6 auth header length calculation.
(I'm not USAGI member. I'm working on IPv6 IPsec based on 2.5 code
base).
RFC2402 2.2 Payload Length
:
This 8-bit field specifies the length of AH in 32-bit words (4-byte
units), minus "2". (All IPv6 extension headers, as per RFC 1883,
encode the "Hdr Ext Len" field by first subtracting 1 (64-bit word)
from the header length (measured in 64-bit words). AH is an IPv6
extension header. However, since its length is measured in 32-bit
words, the "Payload Length" is calculated by subtracting 2 (32 bit
words).) In the "standard" case of a 96-bit authentication value
Would you mind to apply this to avoid wrong header length calculation?
