  1. A connection between the subnets behind the gateways <b>moon</b> and <b>sun</b>
  2. is set up using childless initiation of IKEv2 SAs (RFC 6023).
  3. <p/>
  4. The IKE_SA is established without CHILD_SA during IKE_AUTH. Instead, the
  5. CHILD_SA is created right afterwards with a CREATE_CHILD_SA exchange, allowing
  6. the use of a separate DH exchange for the first CHILD_SA, which is not possible
  7. if it is created during IKE_AUTH.
  8. <p/>
  9. The authentication is based on <b>X.509 certificates</b>. Upon the successful
  10. establishment of the IPsec tunnel, the updown script automatically
  11. inserts iptables-based firewall rules that let pass the tunneled traffic.
  12. In order to test both tunnel and firewall, client <b>alice</b> behind gateway
  13. <b>moon</b> pings client <b>bob</b> located behind gateway <b>sun</b>.
