This document specifies a new Notify Message Type Payload for the Internet Key Exchange Protocol Version 2 (IKEv2), to negotiate IPsec ESP Bound End-to-End Tunnel (BEET) mode. BEET mode combines the benefits of tunnel mode with reduced overhead, making it suitable for applications requiring minimalistic end-to-end tunnels, mobility support, and multi-address multi-homing capabilities. The introduction of the USE_BEET_MODE Notify Message enables the negotiation and establishment of BEET mode security associations.
