Well, the current drafts don't specify any such behavior, so the
feature as it's currently written does not work. (Also, using the
ESP/AH sequence number this way would be very unusual -- there
might be some complications...)
If we include text that states this behavior, does this address your
concern?
Depends on the text (certainly more than 1-2 sentences are needed
here)... but it's possible it could address my concern.
FWIW, I could also think of deployment scenarios where packet
reordering is minimal (e.g., ROHCOIPsec is instantiated over a single
[bandwidth constrained] link). Such scenarios may not even require
the use of the ESP/AH sequence number to reconstruct ROHC segments.
Perhaps; but in general, IPsec runs over IP, and doesn't know about
the properties of the underlying links (even if it's only one hop,
not all links preserve order always).
Best regards,
