Contradictory language in the 2401bis draft section 4.1?
Am I misreading the text? I believe there is contradictory text in
section 4.1 (draft-ietf-ipsec-rfc2401bis-02.txt).
On one hand, in the third full paragraph on page 10, I read:
"... transport mode MAY be used between security gateways or between a
security gateway and a host."
On the other hand, in the paragraph that spans pages 11 and 12, I read:
"In general, whenever either end of a security association is a security
gateway, the SA MUST be tunnel mode."
I suspect the text following this sentence (citing an example of SNMP
commands destined to the security gateway system) clarifies this. Still,
I wonder whether I am entirely alone in finding the text somewhat confusing.
