Here documents known IPsec corner cases which need to be keep in mind when
  deploy various IPsec configuration in real world production environment.
  
  1. IPcomp: Small IP packet won't get compressed at sender, and failed on
  	   policy check on receiver.
  
  Quote from RFC3173:
  2.2. Non-Expansion Policy
  
     If the total size of a compressed payload and the IPComp header, as
     defined in section 3, is not smaller than the size of the original
     payload, the IP datagram MUST be sent in the original non-compressed
     form.  To clarify: If an IP datagram is sent non-compressed, no
  
     IPComp header is added to the datagram.  This policy ensures saving
     the decompression processing cycles and avoiding incurring IP
     datagram fragmentation when the expanded datagram is larger than the
     MTU.
  
     Small IP datagrams are likely to expand as a result of compression.
     Therefore, a numeric threshold should be applied before compression,
     where IP datagrams of size smaller than the threshold are sent in the
     original form without attempting compression.  The numeric threshold
     is implementation dependent.
  
  Current IPComp implementation is indeed by the book, while as in practice
  when sending non-compressed packet to the peer(whether or not packet len
  is smaller than the threshold or the compressed len is large than original
  packet len), the packet is dropped when checking the policy as this packet
  matches the selector but not coming from any XFRM layer, i.e., with no
  security path. Such naked packet will not eventually make it to upper layer.
  The result is much more wired to the user when ping peer with different
  payload length.
  
  One workaround is try to set "level use" for each policy if user observed
  above scenario. The consequence of doing so is small packet(uncompressed)
  will skip policy checking on receiver side.
