[IPsec] IV in ESP packets for AES-CBC and AES-CTR methods



Hi,
Is it required for IV to be randomly generated for each ESP packet in case of AES-CTR and AES-CBC methods?

AES-CTR:My understanding is that IV is to be generated randomly for the first packet.For each new outgoing packet increment IV and use it.

AES-CBC:Is it required for IV to be randomly generated for each of the outgoing ESP packets?In any case i think the packet shall include IV.

Thanks
