Shin,

        In IPSec, both the AH [RFC2402] and ESP [RFC2406] protocols
contain an unsigned 32-bit sequence number field. This field is used
to protect against replay attacks. Appendix C of the IPSec
Architecture document [RFC2401] contains reference code that
implements a simple bitmask check on a 32-bit packet window. RFC2085
is no longer applicable in the current IPSec architecture. You can
retrieve these documents from:

http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/ipsec-charter.html
