[Announce] I-D Action:draft-brunner-ikev2-mediation-00.txt

[Andreas Steffen]

Hi,

strongSwan team member Tobias Brunner has defined and implemented
a Mediation Extension for the IKEv2 protocol. An example scenario
with two IPsec hosts behind NAT routers can be studied under the
following link:

Please let us know what you think about our proposal.

Best regards

Andreas

This document describes the IKEv2 Mediation Extension (IKE-ME), a
connectivity extension to the Internet Key Exchange IKEv2.  IKE-ME
allows two peers, each behind one or more Network Address Translators
(NATs) or firewalls to establish a direct and secure connection
without the need to configure any of the intermediate network
devices.  To establish this direct connection, a process similar to
Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE) is used.
