you know I was wondering why you only did 'ip a' rather than 'ip addr' and tht got me to looking at the man page and while I was looking at it happened upon 'ip xfrm' and that got me to wondering about it. I can't figure out what it does. well, it seems to be a firewall. can someone explain it to me better?
