Re: AH (without ESP) on a secure gateway



I have a question triggered by the discussion :

  If two firewalls (gateways), IDii and IDir, did a successful ISAKMP
  phase-II proxy negotiation for IDui and IDur. Then, which one is the
  right usage of the SA resulting from the negotiation :
  
  
  1. The SA is shared between IDii and IDir (the gateways), and IDii
     IDir are performing IPSEC protection on traffic between IDui and
     IDur. In this case, IDui and IDur are unware of the IPSEC protection.
     
     
  2. The SA is shared between IDui and IDur and IDui and IDur perform IPSEC
     by themselves. IDii and IDir (the gateways) become more or less (IPSEC)
     transparent.
