Subject: [PATCH] libnet/d/overlay: document some encryption code
The overlay-network encryption code is woefully under-documented, which
is especially problematic as it operates on under-documented kernel
interfaces. Document what I have puzzled out of the implementation for
the benefit of the next poor soul to touch this code.

+Encrypted overlay networks use IPsec in transport mode to encrypt and

+plane which negotiates the security parameters for each peer-to-peer tunnel.
+IPsec Terminology
+ - ESP: IPSec Encapsulating Security Payload
+ - SPI: Security Parameter Index
+ - ICV: Integrity Check Value
+ - SA: Security Association https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPsec#Security_association
+Developer documentation for Linux IPsec is rather sparse online. The following
+slide deck provides a decent overview.
+https://libreswan.org/wiki/images/e/e0/Netdev-0x12-ipsec-flow.pdf
+The Linux IPsec stack is part of XFRM, the netlink packet transformation
