- * Data channel packets in ciphertext form consist of the following parts:
- * - HMAC of ciphertext IV + ciphertext (if not disabled by \c --auth

- * - Ciphertext IV (size is cipher-dependent, if not disabled by \c

- * - Tunnel packet ciphertext.

- * @subsection network_protocol_data_plaintext Structure of plaintext data channel messages
- *
- * Data channel packets in plaintext form consist of the following parts:
- * - packet-id (4 or 8 bytes, if not disabled by --no-replay).
- * - In TLS mode, 4 bytes are used because the implementation can
- * force a TLS renegotation before \c 2^32 packets are sent.
- * - In pre-shared %key mode, 8 bytes are used (sequence number and \c
- * time_t value) to allow long-term %key usage without packet-id
- * collisions.
- * - User plaintext (n bytes).
+ * The P_DATA_* payload represents encapsulated tunnel packets which tend to be
+ * either IP packets or Ethernet frames. This is essentially the "payload" of
+ * the VPN. Data channel packets consist of a data channel header, and a
+ * payload. There are two possible formats:
+ *
+ * @par P_DATA_V1
+ * P_DATA_V1 packets have a 1-byte header, carrying the \ref P_DATA_V1 \c opcode
+ * and \c key_id, followed by the payload:\n
+ * <tt> [ 5-bit opcode | 3-bit key_id ] [ payload ] </tt>
+ *
+ * @par P_DATA_V2
+ * P_DATA_V2 packets have the same 1-byte opcode/key_id, but carrying the \ref
+ * P_DATA_V2 opcode, followed by a 3-byte peer-id, which uniquely identifies
+ * the peer:\n
+ * <tt> [ 5-bit opcode | 3-bit key_id ] [ 24-bit peer-id ] [ payload ] </tt>
+ *
+ * See @ref data_crypto for details on the data channel payload format.
