.SH DESCRIPTION

xfrm is an IP framework for transforming packets (such as encrypting
their payloads). This framework is used to implement the IPsec protocol
suite (with the
.B state
object operating on the Security Association Database, and the
.B policy
object operating on the Security Policy Database). It is also used for
the IP Payload Compression Protocol and features of Mobile IPv6.
