The SA lifetime may be defined as a time value in seconds (LifeTime in seconds), as the
number of bytes transmitted before the SA is rekeyed (LifeTime in bytes), or both. When both
are used, the SA lifetime is determined by the threshold that is first reached.
Discard causes data packets to be rejected if there is an invalid pair of source and destination
addresses or invalid port addresses.
Bypass allows a data packet to be transmitted or received without IPsec protection.
Process indicates a data packet is processed using IPsec encryption, IKE authentication, or
both, using encapsulation security protocol (ESP) processing, or authentication header (AH)
protocol processing.
