 In your previous mail you wrote:

   => we had already this discussion (port 500 or a new port).
   BTW NAT traversal has a major security problem and it is very
   fine to be able to associate the port 4500 to IPsec (i.e.,
   not only IKE) with active NAT traversal.

=> draft-dupont-transient-pseudonat-01.txt
(the easy fix is to enable NAT traversal only when it is needed)
