Note that the difference between the ESP-in-UDP encapsulation as Note that the difference between the ESP-in-UDP encapsulation as
proposed in this document and the ESP-in-UDP encapsulation as proposed in this document and the ESP-in-UDP encapsulation as
described in [RFC3948] is that the former uses the UDP tunnel for described in [RFC3948] is that the former uses the UDP tunnel for
load-balancing improvement purpose and therefore the source port is load-balancing improvement purpose and therefore the source port is
used as an entropy field while the latter uses the UDP tunnel for NAT used as an entropy field while the latter uses the UDP tunnel for NAT
traverse purpose and therefore the source port is set to a constant traverse purpose and therefore the source port is set to a constant
value (i.e., 4500). In addition, this document only discusses about value (i.e., 4500). In addition, the ESP-in-UDP encapsulation as
the tunnel mode ESP encapsulation. described in this document is applicable to both the tunnel mode ESP
encapsulation and the transport mode ESP encapsulation.
