Below is my question to Steve Kent (author of the new rev of ESP, and
co-author of the original RFC) and his reply. I understand that IPCOMP is
inferior to ROHC for RTP streams, and I'd like to hear other opinions
regarding the usefulness of an "ROHC" indicator in ESP.

This might certaily add complexity to IPSec, but if you make it
non-negotiable and non-mandatory, it cannot be too terrible.

Thanks,

Yaron,

If the ability to do this was "non-negotiable and non-mandatory" how would two IPsec peers know when to do this?
