Re: [Hipsec] IPCOMP support in HIP

[Miika Komu <[e-mail]>]

Hi,

I guess it could be a new "IPCOMP" transform similar to the ESP transform:

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7402#section-5.1.2

I think R1-I2 would be enough, no need to confirm it in R2, similarly as 
with ESP transform:

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7402#section-5.2.1
