From a1c6cc88430d60dcb52cd876701e8985f362e988 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anoob Joseph Date: Tue, 3 Aug 2021 12:18:37 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] doc: announce changes in IPsec xform struct IPsec xform struct would be updated to include IPsec SA lifetime configuration. The existing member 'esn_soft_limit' would only track ESN. And as sequence number control is getting introduced, 'esn_soft_limit' may not indicate the number of packets processed. Replace that with a new structure to cover all lifetime cases with support for specifying both soft and hard lifetimes.
