DESCRIPTION         top

       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 Database). It is also used for the IP Payload Compression
       Protocol and features 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
              Compression (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:
              ·      the algorithm type: encryption (enc), authentication
                     (auth or auth-trunc), authenticated encryption with
                     associated data (aead), or compression (comp)
              ·      the algorithm name ALGO-NAME (see below)
              ·      (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
              ·      (for auth-trunc only) the truncation length ALGO-TRUNC-
                     LEN in bits
              ·      (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).  Mo‐
              bile IPv6 modes are route optimization (ro) and inbound trig‐
              ger (in_trigger).
       FLAG-LIST
              contains one or more of the following optional flags: noecn,
              decap-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 net‐
              work device, 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 or espinudp-non‐
              ike, using source port SPORT, destination port DPORT , and
              original address OADDR.
       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
       SELECTOR
              selects the traffic that will be controlled by the policy,
              based on the source address, the destination address, the net‐
              work device, 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
              LEVEL.
       ID     is specified by a source address, destination address, trans‐
              form 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
              Compression (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).  Mo‐
              bile IPv6 modes are route optimization (ro) and inbound trig‐
              ger (in_trigger).
       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
       namespaces that have a nsid assigned into the network namespace were
       the program is running.  A prefix is displayed to show the network
       namespace where the message originates. Example:
         [nsid 1]Flushed state proto 0
