Up to now, the option -A_ determines the cipher used to send out and the cipher to be accepted.
I am pondering to loose the requirement that incoming packets must be encrypted using the same cipher. Instead, an edge could accept packets encrypted with any of the other ciphers – delivering usable payload only if they use the same key of course. It would be a relief to some edges of which the CPU might deal better with other ciphers, especially encrypting.
