Annotation of embedaddon/strongswan/testing/tests/ikev1/dynamic-responder/description.txt, revision 1.1.1.1

1.1       misho       1: The peers <b>carol</b> and <b>moon</b> both have dynamic IP addresses, so that the remote end
                      2: is defined symbolically by <b>right=&lt;hostname&gt;</b>. The ipsec starter resolves the
                      3: fully-qualified hostname into the current IP address via a DNS lookup (simulated by an
                      4: /etc/hosts entry). Since the peer IP addresses are expected to change over time, the option
                      5: <b>rightallowany=yes</b> will allow an IKE main mode rekeying to arrive from an arbitrary
                      6: IP address under the condition that the peer identity remains unchanged. When this happens
                      7: the old tunnel is replaced by an IPsec connection to the new origin.
                      8: <p>
                      9: In this scenario <b>moon</b> first initiates a tunnel to <b>carol</b>. After some time
                     10: the responder <b>carol</b> suddenly changes her IP address and restarts the connection to
                     11: <b>moon</b> without deleting the old tunnel first (simulated by iptables blocking IKE packets
                     12: to and from <b>carol</b> and starting the connection from host <b>dave</b> using
                     13: <b>carol</b>'s identity).
