Hi 
      SKEYID is a string derived from secret material known only
 to the active players in the exchange.

      SKEYID_e is the keying material used by the ISAKMP SA to 
protect the confidentiality of its messages.

      SKEYID_a is the keying material used by the ISAKMP SA to
authenticate its messages.
      SKEYID_d is the keying material used to derive keys for non-
   ISAKMP security associations.

 
when the Hashes are derived from the payload data , I assumed that
the data that goes into that are in the NETWORK Byte order.

IS IT CORRECT?

-Thanks in Advance
