hi, Just a small error I think, in the handbook at 14.10.3.2: ``If a packet leaves from A.B.C.D, and that packet is encapsulating another= packet, and it is destined for W.X.Y.Z, then encrypt it, using the neces= sary security associations.'' ``If a packet arrives from W.X.Y.Z, and that packet is encapsulating anothe= r packet, and it is destined for A.B.C.D, then encrypt it, using the nece= ssary security associations.'' I think the 2 lines above should read: ``If a packet leaves from A.B.C.D, and that packet is encapsulating another= packet, and it is destined for W.X.Y.Z, then encrypt it, using the neces= sary security associations.'' ``If a packet arrives from W.X.Y.Z, and that packet is encapsulating anothe= r packet, and it is destined for A.B.C.D, then _decrypt_ it, using the ne= cessary security associations.'' The change makes more sense especially when read with these 2 lines found i= n the handbook (just before the previous ones): `If a packet leaves from A.B.C.D, and it is destined for W.X.Y.Z, then >enc= rypt< it, using the necessary security associations.'' ``If a packet arrives from W.X.Y.Z, and it is destined for A.B.C.D, then >d= ecrypt< it, using the necessary security associations.''
