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

1.1       misho       1: The peers <b>carol</b>, <b>dave</b>, and <b>moon</b> all have dynamic IP addresses,
                      2: so that the remote end is defined symbolically by <b>right=%&lt;hostname&gt;</b>.
                      3: The ipsec starter resolves the fully-qualified hostname into the current IP address
                      4: via a DNS lookup (simulated by an /etc/hosts entry). Since the peer IP addresses are
                      5: expected to change over time, the prefix '%' is used as an implicit alternative to the
                      6: explicit <b>rightallowany=yes</b> option which will allow an IKE
                      7: main mode rekeying to arrive from an arbitrary IP address under the condition that
                      8: the peer identity remains unchanged. When this happens the old tunnel is replaced
                      9: by an IPsec connection to the new origin.
                     10: <p>
                     11: In this scenario both <b>carol</b> and <b>dave</b> initiate a tunnel to
                     12: <b>moon</b> which has a named connection definition for each peer. Although
                     13: the IP addresses of both <b>carol</b> and <b>dave</b> are stale, thanks to
                     14: the '%' prefix <b>moon</b> will accept the IKE negotiations from the actual IP addresses.
