Is IPCOMP restricted for use by Hosts (at packet origin), or can it be
appended by a Security Gateway as part of the process of adding an IPSEC
tunnel header?

e.g.

Original host packet [IP1][TCP][data]

After passing through a security gateway/IP tunnel:

[IP2][ESP][IPCOMP][IP1][TCP][data][padding/next protocol][ESP auth]


If this is supported, is it detailed anywhere?  For example, if an
Explicit IV is used, would it come after the ESP header or after the
IPCOMP header?
