Yes, certainly a node is likely to know better its own conditions than the other node. But I don't quite understand the last point: in 2401bis, inbound IPsec SAs don't seem to have the local (tunnel header) address at all? (unless they're multicast, but that's beyond IKEv2) => tunnel inbound IPsec SAs have a local (destination) end-point address. What I mean is the only way to fix this address is to send a message to the other end saying what address to use. BTW this is the central point of MOBIKE. Regards [email protected]
