ipsec: fix padding/alignment for native IPsec encryption
Not all ESP crypto algorithms require padding/alignment to be the same
as AES block/IV size. CCM, CTR and GCM all have no padding/alignment
requirements, and the RFCs indicate that no padding (beyond ESPs 4 octet
alignment requirement) should be used unless TFC (traffic flow
confidentiality) has been requested.
CTR: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3686#section-3.2
GCM: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4106#section-3.2
CCM: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4309#section-3.2
- VPP is incorrectly using the IV/AES block size to pad CTR and GCM.
These modes do not require padding (beyond ESPs 4 octet requirement), as
a result packets will have unnecessary padding, which will waste
bandwidth at least and possibly fail certain network configurations that
have finely tuned MTU configurations at worst.
Fix this as well as changing the field names from ".*block_size" to
".*block_align" to better represent their actual (and only) use. Rename
"block_sz" in esp_encrypt to "esp_align" and set it correctly as well.
test: ipsec: Add unit-test to test for RFC correct padding/alignment
test: patch scapy to not incorrectly pad ccm, ctr, gcm modes as well
- Scapy is also incorrectly using the AES block size of 16 to pad CCM,
CTR, and GCM cipher modes. A bug report has been opened with the
and acknowledged with the upstream scapy project as well:
