By setting left=%any this scenario tests the ability of the IKEv2 daemon to automatically determine its own IP address of an IPsec SA to be established. This is achieved by finding a route via the correct network interface to the remote IPsec peer.

The hosts moon and bob act as initiators by setting auto=route whereas the hosts alice and sun act as responders by setting auto=add. Pings from moon to alice and sun as well as a ping from bob to sun set up three compressed IPsec Transport Mode connections.
