Re: AH is pretty useless and perhaps should be deprecated

I've seen AH used as a "prove that this hasn't been through a NAT" mechanism.  In this context, it's pretty much 
perfect.

However, what I don't understand is where the dislike for it originates: if you don't like it, don't run it.  It is 
useful in certain cases, and it's already in all of the production IPSec implementations.  Why the hate?
