Title : Diet-IPsec: ESP Payload Compression of IPv6 / UDP / TCP / UDP-Lite

Abstract:
ESP is a IPsec protocol that takes as input a Clear Text Data and
outputs an encrypted ESP packet according to IPsec rules and
parameters stored in different IPsec databases.

Diet-ESP compresses the ESP fields. However, Diet-ESP does not
consider compression of the Clear Text Data. Instead, if compression
of the Clear Text Data is expected protocols like ROHCoverIPsec can
be used.

ROHCoverIPsec remains complex to implement in IoT devices, as states,
and negotiations are involved between the compressors and
decompressors of the two IoT devices. Most of this complexity can be
avoided by considering the parameters that have been negotiated by
IPsec.

This document describes an extension of the Diet-ESP Context that
enables the compression of the Clear Text Data, without implementing
the complex ROHCoverIPsec framework. As opposed to ROHCoverIPsec the
compression is not generic and as such all communication will not
benefit from this compression. However, we believe this extension
addresses most of IoT communications.
