Re: [Seamoby] CAR DiscoveryProtocol Requirements...

Hi,

Be there RFC or not, this discussion is not based on the relevant issue in 
the first place. The issue raised is:

"can you make IKE create an SA between two nodes (one having a public 
address and another having a private address)?".

SA between public to private routers need not be done by direct IKE between 
public and private peers. In the case of public to private SA, SA can be 
created (say using IKE) between public router to border router of private 
router. Border router to private router SA can be taken for granted. There 
are various ways to do the latter including static configuration. Such a 
concatenation of two SAs will guarantee SA between public and private 
routers, which is what we want.

Hence, ability or otherwise of creating direct IKE between public and 
private is not at all the sumbling block behind the private address space 
requirement.

If there is any genuine stumbing block in this requirement, please let me 
know it.
