<section>
<title>IPSEC</title>
<para>The 2.6 Linux kernel introduces a new implementation of IPSEC which
eliminates the <filename class="devicefile">ipsecN</filename> device
names. Netfilter/iptables support for this new implementation is
incomplete and therefore Shorewall support is limited. See the <ulink
url="IPSEC.htm">Shorewall IPSEC documentation</ulink>.</para>
