Annotation of embedaddon/strongswan/testing/tests/libipsec/net2net-cert-ipv6/description.txt, revision 1.1.1.1

1.1       misho       1: A connection between the subnets behind the gateways <b>moon</b> and <b>sun</b> is set up.
                      2: The authentication is based on <b>X.509 certificates</b> and the <b>kernel-libipsec</b>
                      3: plugin is used for userland IPsec ESP encryption.
                      4: <p/>
                      5: Upon the successful establishment of the IPsec tunnel, an updown script automatically
                      6: inserts iptables-based firewall rules that let pass the traffic tunneled via the
                      7: <b>ipsec0</b> tun interface. In order to test both tunnel and firewall, client <b>alice</b>
                      8: behind gateway <b>moon</b> pings client <b>bob</b> located behind gateway <b>sun</b>.
                      9: <p/>
                     10: This scenario is mainly to test how fragmented IPv6 packets are handled (e.g. determining
                     11: the protocol via IPv6 extension headers). Three pings are required due to PMTUD, the first
                     12: is rejected by <b>moon</b>, so <b>alice</b> adjusts the MTU. The second gets through,
                     13: but the response is rejected by <b>sun</b>, so <b>bob</b> will adjust the MTU. The third
                     14: finally is successful.
