At the high level, we use the ESP protocol ([RFC 2406][esp]) in the Transport
mode. Each packet is encrypted with AES in GCM mode ([RFC 4106][aesgcm]), with
32byte key and 4byte salt. This combo provides the following security
32 byte key and 4 byte salt. This combo provides the following security
properties:
* Data confidentiality.
* Data origin authentication.
* Integrity.
* Anti-replay service.
* Limited traffic flow confidentiality.
* Anti-replay.
* Limited traffic flow confidentiality as fast datapath VXLAN packets are fully
encrypted.

This value can be overridden by setting `WEAVE_MTU` at launch if
necessary.
