Hi Anantha

As per the RFC, MLS implemented network is where, security policies are
applied based on the sensitivity classification of the data.

For example, let's have the following classification of data:

Home user data
Corporate data
Government data
Defense data


The IP header will carry this classification tag and based on this tag,
IPSec should apply the policy. For example home user data should get less
strength encryption while government should get higher straight.

Also it seems IPv6 will have the most use of this MLS than IPv4.


This is what I understood reading the RFC :-)


With regards
Kings
