This memo specifies the base architecture for IPsec compliant
systems.  The goal of the architecture is to provide various security
services for traffic at the IP layer, in both the IPv4 and IPv6
environments.  This document describes the goals of such systems,
their components and how they fit together with each other and into
the IP environment.  It also describes the security services offered
by the IPsec protocols, and how these services can be employed in the
IP environment.

This document is a product of the IP Security Protocol Working Group
of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.

This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for
the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the
"Internet Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the
standardization state and status of this protocol.  Distribution
of this memo is unlimited.
