It is non-trivial to do this (understatement of the century). The NRL release wants you to make both their version of IPv6/IPSEC at the same time, and we don't want or care about IPv6. So what we have is IPv4/IPSEC. (The IPv6 stuff requires even more munges to IPv4, than just IPSEC/IPv4). Also their ipsec stuff is socket based. We have done minimal testing of the socket tied-in code and are beginning to test it in a bigger way. We are also tying the NRL ipsec stuff to routing as that is what we really want (VPNs). If you have any interest, I suggest private email. regards, Jim Binkley jrb@cs.pdx.edu
