Subject: Re: ESP interfamily tunnel bug?

Hi Diego,

I was probably misunderstanding your problem.
Ok, I used two machines, which were connected to different networks.

My topology was

[Host1]----[Router]-----[Host2]

I configured Host1 and Host2 to communicate by using IPv6 over IPv4 IPsec
ESP tunnel mode. And they could communicate with each other.
I have never had "netowrk unreachable".

I used ping6 for the test.
The kernel of Host1 was net-2.6 and the kernel of Host2 was linux-2.6.

I also tested with dummy adevice and a virtual address.
Host1 and Host2 had different addresses whose prefixes did not equal
to one in router advertisement they received.
I succeeded the test. Those hosts could communicate.

So, I could not reproduce the bug.

Best regards,
