(NAT-T RFC-3715, RFC-3947 and RFC-3948)
Since m0n0wall 1.3b2 supports NAT-T, I would like to know what
successes / failures users have experienced. Some questions I have:
1) Compatibility with "IPSec Passthrough". A Juniper Netscreen tech
note states "Make sure IPSec Passthrough is disabled on the Linksys
router. IPSec Passthrough will break NAT Traversal functionality."
Is this true?
2) Does the auto-negotiation ('enable') reliably work, , or does
forcing NAT-T on ('force') or 'off' usually required?
3) Is the extra overhead noticeable enough to motivate users to not
use NAT-T if it is not required?
4) Does the IPSec host endpoint address behind the NAT need to match
the actual private address, or can any endpoint address be used as
with non-NAT-T?
Hopefully we can generate a good discussion for the archives.
Thanks in advance.
