draft-ietf-ipwave-ipv6-over-80211ocb-00
encryption at MAC or above LLC?

Hello IPWAVErs,

A question was raised about whether encryption would take place at MAC 
layer or above the LLC layer (i.e. IP layer)?

My answer is that encryption should be performed at at least at the IP 
layer, namely IPsec and Encapsulated Security Payload (ESP) header.

The details about how the encryption is performed should be described in 
a different I-D.

But in the IPv6/OCB draft we can tell that "encryption MAY be performed 
at least in the IPsec layer (and potentially in the MAC layer as well)".
