  1. A connection between the subnets behind the gateways <b>moon</b> and <b>sun</b>
  2. is set up using XFRM interfaces.
  3. <p/>
  4. The gateways use <b>route-based forwarding</b> with <b>XFRM interfaces</b>, with
  5. firewall rules to allow traffic to pass. The IPsec traffic selector used is
  6. 0.0.0.0/0, however, specific routing is achieved with routes on the XFRM
  7. interfaces. The IKE daemon does not install routes for CHILD_SAs with outbound
  8. interface ID, so static routes are installed for the target subnets.
  9. <p/>
  10. Both gateways use separate interfaces for in- and outbound traffic (which is
  11. completely optional and mainly for testing purposes, a single interface will
  12. usually be enough). Gateway <b>moon</b> creates them before initiating the
  13. connection, while gateway <b>sun</b> dynamically creates the interfaces via
  14. updown script using the passed unique generated interface IDs.
  15. <p/>
  16. Client <b>alice</b> behind gateway <b>moon</b> pings client <b>bob</b> located
  17. behind gateway <b>sun</b>.
