2401bis Issue # 80 -- Security gateway discovery
Folks,
Here's a description and proposed approach for:
IPsec Issue #: 80
Title: Security gateway discovery
Description:
============
At present, 2401 does not include a mechanism for determining which
(if any) security gateway to use to reach a particular host. In the
case of VPNs or road warriors trying to reach a home system or their
employer's system, their laptops typically are manually configured
with the IP address of the relevant security gateway(s). But this
does not cover the more general case.
NOTE: The IPSP working group was supposed to produce an ID on "SG
discovery, Policy Exchange and Negotiation Protocol" in June 2003.
Proposed approach:
==================
2401bis will not address the problem, but will refer to ongoing work
by the IPSP WG, which has taken on this topic as a work item.
Thank you,
Karen
