ipsec SAs

["George Hadjichristofi" <ghadjich@vt.edu>]

Hi,

I have a question about IPSec SAs.

There is a nework such as:
A----Gateway1 ===tunnel====Gateway2 ----B

A and B are the subnets.
Gateway 1 and 2 negotiate a tunnel such that A can communicate securely with
B.

Based on RFC2401, does that mean that A will only be able to talk to B and
no other nodes on the network, or just that it will talk to B via a secure
tunnel and to everybody else in cleartext?

Should A be able to talk to Gateway2?

Thank you
George
