Re: SOI: selector exclusion lists/ranges



   The Traffic Selector Payload consists of a list of Traffic Selector
Substructures each of which have start-port and end-port entries.
So you can specify ports 1-78 and 80-1023 if you wanted to protect
all ports less than 1024 except 79.

   They can't represent things that fall outside of a selector since
they are designed to represent the selector itself. But I think they
can do what you want. Check out section 7.13 in the IKEv2 draft.

   Note that while IKEv2 can express this an RFC2401-compliant IPsec
implementation could not have a selector like this for IKEv2 to 
represent. The restriction in RFC2401 was because of a limitation in
RFC2408 though so hopefully a rev of RFC2401 will include port ranges.
