This document describes the problem of enabling a large number of
systems to communicate directly using IPsec to protect the traffic
between them.  It then expands on the requirements for such a
solution.

Manual configuration of all possible tunnels is too cumbersome in
many such cases.  In other cases, the IP addresses of endpoints
change, or the endpoints may be behind NAT gateways, making static
configuration impossible.  The Auto-Discovery VPN solution will
address these requirements.

This document is a product of the IP Security Maintenance and Extensions Working Group of the IETF.
