Hi Raj, No, RFC 5685 tried for generality without defining the usage scenario in advance, and this attempt failed. The solution cannot be used gateway-gateway, because it depends on the (arbitrary) initiator/responder distinction. Thanks, Yaron On 30.3.2010 15:43, Raj Singh wrote:

Hi Raj, this in fact is the perfect counter-example: RFC 5685 started out with the client-gateway scenario, and when we woke up to see how it can be generalized to the symmetric gateway-gateway case, it was too late. Hence Sec. 10, which says that the resulting protocol is a very partial solu

Hi Team, The similar scenarios are beautifully handled by Redirect RFC-5685. The Redirect RFC emphasize on client-gateway terminology, which is typical use of Redirect mechanism in IKEv2 where Gateway redirects client to another less loaded gateway but at the same time RFC is also applicable to ro
