A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the IP Security Protocol Working Group of the IETF. Title : IPsec-NAT Compatibility Requirements Author(s) : B. Aboba Filename : draft-ietf-ipsec-nat-reqts-00.txt Pages : 11 Date : 21-Jun-01 Perhaps the most common use of IPsec is in providing virtual private networking capabilities. One very popular use of VPNs is to provide tele-commuter access to the corporate Intranet. Today NATs are widely deployed in home gateways, as well as in other locations likely to be used by tele-commuters, such as hotels. The result is that IPsec-NAT incompatibilities have become a major barrier to deployment of IPsec in one of its principal uses. This draft describes known incompatibilities between NAT and IPsec, and describes the requirements for addressing them.

Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ipsec-nat-reqts-00.txt". NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE" command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on how to manipulate these messages. Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the Internet-Draft.
No recognizable part in multipart/alternative.
