I retry to play tunneling IPv4 over IPv6-IPsec. Afair it is still not
working (support is missing in 2.6.x kernel), but for startup, I have
already a patch for ipsec.conf parsing (pluto already has an option to
do this):
The native IPsec stack doesn't support IPv4 over IPv6 or IPv6 over
IPv4 SAs. It won't be able to do so unless major surgery is done
to the IPsec and IP stack.
Hmm, looks like more a long term issue :-(
So another question: what is the status of tunneling IPv4 over IPv6 without
IPsec e.g. using GRE or special native tunneling? Similar issue? I digged a
little bit around in GRE code and found some IPv6 references but no hints
whether it can be used for that also.
BTW: the reason why I'm looking for such support is the need to connect
some "legacy" IPv4 islands over IPv6.
Regards,
Peter
