Why is IPsec a problem if you have multiple relays? If so, we may have the same issue with DHCPv6? In DHCPv4, each relay generates a new message so it can be subject to IPsec. The server must assume that the relay before it (the one it received the packet from) has sufficiently trusted the source (such as another relay) to relay the packet. - Bernie -----Original Message----- From: Ralph Droms [mailto:rdroms@cisco.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 08, 2002 3:22 PM To: Thomas Narten Cc: Ted Lemon; Bernie Volz (EUD); Kim Kinnear; dhcwg@ietf.org Subject: Re: [dhcwg] status of draft-ietf-dhc-agent-subnet-selection If I squint my eyes and stand back far enough, I don't see that the DHCPv4 case is different. While the relay agent is relaying a message on behalf of the client, it really is relaying that message in an independent UDP message, in which the source address belongs to the relay agent. I don't think there is any reason the relay agent and server can't employ IPsec on the relay agent<->server messages. Of course, IPsec may be problematic if there are multiple relay agents in the path - which is the problem Mark Stapp is trying to solve, right? - Ralph At 03:11 PM 10/8/2002 -0400, Thomas Narten wrote: >Ted Lemon <Ted.Lemon@nominum.com> writes: > > > > Perhaps I shouldn't raise this, but it seems like we should be > > > worrying much > > > more about security on the first hop (client <-> server/relay) than the > > > relay <-> server hop.
