The identifier for that transform SHOULD be AES-CTR-<key_length> or just AES-CTR in which case the key length defaults to 128 bits.

However the starting point of the integer value has to be randomized to get a good pseudo random key stream. A keystream consits of several keystream segements with a size of 128 bits (AES blocksize). Each segement can be computed by applying AES with key k on the block CTR. The whole keystream is a concatination of all its successive segements. Therefore a keystream looks as follows:<vspace blankLines="1" /> + AES(session_key, CTR) || AES(session_key, CTR + 1 mod 2^128) || AES(session_key, CTR + 2 mod 2^128) ...<vspace blankLines="1" /> + where the 128 bit value CTR is defined as follows:<vspace blankLines="1" /> + CTR = (session_salt * 2^16) XOR (mux * 2^80) XOR (sender_id * 2^64) XOR (sequence_number * 2^16)<vspace blankLines="1" /> + where each of the four terms are padded with as many leading zeros to form a 128 bit value. + </t> + <t> + Mind that the 16 least siginificant bits of CTR are zero. These bits are used for the counter. Therefore the number of blocks generated for one packet MUST NOT exceed 2^16 to avoid keystream reuse.
