Re: Q: What is advantage of tunnel mode between host to host scenrio?
Hi
Please elobrate the points you are making
1. Fewer mechanisms to implement.
Pl. explain what do you mean by fewer mechnaisms.
Instead , i think there is need to do more processing at both ends ( like
adding extra headers).
2. It hides the fact that you're doing host to host communication
>rather than communication for someone else.
How it hides the fact that the communication is host to host because
the inner and outer IP header may be same. Only in case of host having
multiple NICs then this point is vaild.
