[strongSwan] Diagram

Hello,

The commonly quoted packet flow diagram at [1] does not show where NAT-T is implemented for
IPsec MOBIKE.  Questions are:

  1.  Where in the diagram is NAT-T de-capsulation performed?

  2.  Where in the diagram is NAT-T encapsulation performed?

  3.  Does the NAT-T UDP header have to be removed so the iptables IPsec policy module can operate?

  4.  Traffic from the topmost "local process" block flows to a "routing decision" block.  Is this to prevent
      a local IPsec connection (to loopback address, possibly ) from being encrypted?

TIA,
