Re: Another NAT Traversal question

[ravi <ravivsn@roc.co.in>]

IKEv2 is being defined fresh. Why can't we use port 500 for the purpose of
      NAT Traversal. If we make this packet also containing first four bytes after
      UDP header as 0s in case of IKE packet, then there is no need for port 4500

Ravi
