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 state object  operating  on  the  Security  Association
       Database,  and the policy object operating on the Security Policy Data-
       base). It is also used for the IP Payload Compression Protocol and fea-
       tures of Mobile IPv6.

       ip xfrm state add         add new state into xfrm
       ip xfrm state update      update existing state in xfrm
       ip xfrm state allocspi    allocate an SPI value
       ip xfrm state delete      delete existing state in xfrm
       ip xfrm state get         get existing state in xfrm
       ip xfrm state deleteall   delete all existing state in xfrm
       ip xfrm state list        print out the list of existing state in xfrm
       ip xfrm state flush       flush all state in xfrm
       ip xfrm state count       count all existing state in xfrm

       ID     is specified by a source address, destination address, transform
              protocol XFRM-PROTO, and/or Security Parameter Index SPI.   (For
              IP  Payload  Compression, the Compression Parameter Index or CPI
              is used for SPI.)

       XFRM-PROTO
              specifies a transform  protocol:  IPsec  Encapsulating  Security
              Payload (esp), IPsec Authentication Header (ah), IP Payload Com-
              pression (comp), Mobile IPv6 Type 2 Routing Header (route2),  or
              Mobile IPv6 Home Address Option (hao).

       ALGO-LIST
              contains  one  or more algorithms to use. Each algorithm ALGO is
              specified by:

              o      the  algorithm  type:  encryption  (enc),  authentication
                     (auth or auth-trunc), authenticated encryption with asso-
                     ciated data (aead), or compression (comp)

              o      the algorithm name ALGO-NAME (see below)

              o      (for all except comp) the  keying  material  ALGO-KEYMAT,
                     which  may  include both a key and a salt or nonce value;
                     refer to the corresponding RFC

              o      (for auth-trunc only) the truncation  length  ALGO-TRUNC-
                     LEN in bits

              o      (for  aead  only)  the Integrity Check Value length ALGO-
                     ICV-LEN in bits

              Encryption  algorithms   include   ecb(cipher_null),   cbc(des),
              cbc(des3_ede),      cbc(cast5),     cbc(blowfish),     cbc(aes),
              cbc(serpent),       cbc(camellia),       cbc(twofish),       and
              rfc3686(ctr(aes)).

              Authentication   algorithms   include   digest_null,  hmac(md5),
              hmac(sha1),    hmac(sha256),     hmac(sha384),     hmac(sha512),
              hmac(rmd160), and xcbc(aes).

              Authenticated  encryption with associated data (AEAD) algorithms
              include      rfc4106(gcm(aes)),      rfc4309(ccm(aes)),      and
              rfc4543(gcm(aes)).

              Compression algorithms include deflate, lzs, and lzjh.

       MODE   specifies  a mode of operation for the transform protocol. IPsec
              and IP Payload Compression modes are transport, tunnel, and (for
              IPsec  ESP  only)  Bound  End-to-End Tunnel (beet).  Mobile IPv6
              modes are route optimization (ro) and inbound trigger  (in_trig-
              ger).

       FLAG-LIST
              contains one or more of the following optional flags: noecn, de-
              cap-dscp, nopmtudisc, wildrecv, icmp, af-unspec, align4, or esn.

       SELECTOR
              selects the traffic that will be controlled by the policy, based
              on  the source address, the destination address, the network de-
              vice, and/or UPSPEC.

       UPSPEC selects traffic by protocol. For the tcp,  udp,  sctp,  or  dccp
              protocols,  the  source  and  destination port can optionally be
              specified.  For the icmp, ipv6-icmp, or  mobility-header  proto-
              cols,  the  type  and  code numbers can optionally be specified.
              For the gre protocol, the key can optionally be specified  as  a
              dotted-quad  or number.  Other protocols can be selected by name
              or number PROTO.

       LIMIT-LIST
              sets limits in seconds, bytes, or numbers of packets.

       ENCAP  encapsulates packets with protocol espinudp, espinudp-nonike, or
              espintcp,  using source port SPORT, destination port DPORT , and
              original address OADDR.

       MARK   used to match xfrm policies and states

       OUTPUT-MARK
              used to set the output mark to  influence  the  routing  of  the
              packets emitted by the state

       ip xfrm policy add         add a new policy
       ip xfrm policy update      update an existing policy
       ip xfrm policy delete      delete an existing policy
       ip xfrm policy get         get an existing policy

       ip xfrm policy deleteall   delete all existing xfrm policies
       ip xfrm policy list        print out the list of xfrm policies
       ip xfrm policy flush       flush policies

       nosock filter (remove) all socket policies from the output.

       SELECTOR
              selects the traffic that will be controlled by the policy, based
              on the source address, the destination address, the network  de-
              vice, and/or UPSPEC.

       UPSPEC selects  traffic  by  protocol.  For the tcp, udp, sctp, or dccp
              protocols, the source and destination  port  can  optionally  be
              specified.   For  the icmp, ipv6-icmp, or mobility-header proto-
              cols, the type and code numbers  can  optionally  be  specified.
              For  the  gre protocol, the key can optionally be specified as a
              dotted-quad or number.  Other protocols can be selected by  name
              or number PROTO.

       DIR    selects the policy direction as in, out, or fwd.

       CTX    sets the security context.

       PTYPE  can be main (default) or sub.

       ACTION can be allow (default) or block.

       PRIORITY
              is a number that defaults to zero.

       FLAG-LIST
              contains  one  or both of the following optional flags: local or
              icmp.

       LIMIT-LIST
              sets limits in seconds, bytes, or numbers of packets.

       TMPL-LIST
              is a template list specified using ID, MODE, REQID, and/or  LEV-
              EL.

       ID     is specified by a source address, destination address, transform
              protocol XFRM-PROTO, and/or Security Parameter Index SPI.   (For
              IP  Payload  Compression, the Compression Parameter Index or CPI
              is used for SPI.)

       XFRM-PROTO
              specifies a transform  protocol:  IPsec  Encapsulating  Security
              Payload (esp), IPsec Authentication Header (ah), IP Payload Com-
              pression (comp), Mobile IPv6 Type 2 Routing Header (route2),  or
              Mobile IPv6 Home Address Option (hao).

       MODE   specifies  a mode of operation for the transform protocol. IPsec
              and IP Payload Compression modes are transport, tunnel, and (for
              IPsec  ESP  only)  Bound  End-to-End Tunnel (beet).  Mobile IPv6
              modes are route optimization (ro) and inbound trigger  (in_trig-
              ger).

       LEVEL  can be required (default) or use.

       ip xfrm policy count   count existing policies

       Use  one  or  more -s options to display more details, including policy
       hash table information.

       ip xfrm policy set   configure the policy hash table

       Security policies whose address prefix  lengths  are  greater  than  or
       equal policy hash table thresholds are hashed. Others are stored in the
       policy_inexact chained list.

       LBITS  specifies the minimum local address prefix  length  of  policies
              that are stored in the Security Policy Database hash table.

       RBITS  specifies  the  minimum remote address prefix length of policies
              that are stored in the Security Policy Database hash table.

       ip xfrm monitor    state monitoring for xfrm objects

       The xfrm objects to monitor can be optionally specified.

       If the all-nsid option is set, the program listens to all network name-
       spaces  that  have  a nsid assigned into the network namespace were the
       program is running.  A prefix is displayed to show  the  network  name-
       space where the message originates. Example:

         [nsid 1]Flushed state proto 0
