+Transformation Statistics
+-------------------------
+
+The xfrm_proc code is a set of statistics showing numbers of packets
+dropped by the transformation code and why. These counters are defined
+as part of the linux private MIB. These counters can be viewed in
+/proc/net/xfrm_stat.
+
+
+Inbound errors
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+XfrmInError:
+ All errors which is not matched others
+
+XfrmInBufferError:
+ No buffer is left
+
+XfrmInHdrError:
+ Header error
+
+XfrmInNoStates:
+ No state is found
+ i.e. Either inbound SPI, address, or IPsec protocol at SA is wrong
+
+XfrmInStateProtoError:
+ Transformation protocol specific error
+ e.g. SA key is wrong
+
+XfrmInStateModeError:
+ Transformation mode specific error
+
+XfrmInStateSeqError:
+ Sequence error
+ i.e. Sequence number is out of window
+
+XfrmInStateExpired:
+ State is expired
+
+XfrmInStateMismatch:
+ State has mismatch option
+ e.g. UDP encapsulation type is mismatch
+
+XfrmInStateInvalid:
+ State is invalid
+
+XfrmInTmplMismatch:
+ No matching template for states
+ e.g. Inbound SAs are correct but SP rule is wrong
+
+XfrmInNoPols:
+ No policy is found for states
+ e.g. Inbound SAs are correct but no SP is found
+
+XfrmInPolBlock:
+ Policy discards
+
+XfrmInPolError:
+ Policy error
+
+XfrmAcquireError:
+ State hasn't been fully acquired before use
+
+XfrmFwdHdrError:
+ Forward routing of a packet is not allowed
+
+Outbound errors
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+XfrmOutError:
+ All errors which is not matched others
+
+XfrmOutBundleGenError:
+ Bundle generation error
+
+XfrmOutBundleCheckError:
+ Bundle check error
+
+XfrmOutNoStates:
+ No state is found
+
+XfrmOutStateProtoError:
+ Transformation protocol specific error
+
+XfrmOutStateModeError:
+ Transformation mode specific error
+
+XfrmOutStateSeqError:
+ Sequence error
+ i.e. Sequence number overflow
+
+XfrmOutStateExpired:
+ State is expired
+
+XfrmOutPolBlock:
+ Policy discards
+
+XfrmOutPolDead:
+ Policy is dead
+
+XfrmOutPolError:
+ Policy error
+
+XfrmOutStateInvalid:
+ State is invalid, perhaps expired
