This is a "feature" in the Linux IPsec (see the first bullet):
http://vger.kernel.org/~davem/net_todo.html
Linux IPsec assumes transport layer handles packet retransmissions.
IMHO, this is a fair assumption except that it can cause unnecessary
delay to e.g. TCP connections, leading to lowered user experience.
So either it should reported to some other bugzilla or the description
of this bug should be changed to "hipfw lacks a packet cache mechanism".

Status in Host Identity Protocol for Linux: New
Bug description:
Starting hipd on two machines and pinging the HIT of one from the other leads
to the first packet lost on otherwise successful connection.
I was told this packet was once buffered in the kernel, but this feature was
somehow lost.
