Abstract
A method which includes receiving a request to perform encapsulating security payload (ESP) processing for data exchanged between a node and an other node over a secure network connection established via an Internet Protocol security (IPsec) security association. Information associated with the IPsec security association is obtained based on the request. The information indicates a prepend data unit size for an initialization vector, a generated data unit size for the initialization vector and an append data unit size for the initialization vector. A composition of each initialization vector included with encrypted data exchanged between the node and the other node based, at least in part, on the prepend, generated and append data unit size for the initialization vector is then determined.
