RE: Does an outbound packet need to be reroute?



Since there is a new IP header, a new route shall be
needed. The route can be checked evrytime or cached
with the first packet.

The selectors for the new packet shall decide whether
further IPsec processing is required or not. It may be 
possible to still go for IPsec processing, if let us say
we have the case of nested tunnels.

	Since in tunnel mode, it get a new ip header which has a
different 
destination ip address. Does the packet need to be reroute to a new 
interface (may be the same) and bypass this interface's ipsec
processing?

	Best regard!
