-racoon speaks IKE (ISAKMP/Oakley) key management protocol, to
-establish security association with other hosts.
-
-Known issues:
-- Too many use of dynamic memory allocation, which leads to memory leak.
-- Non-threaded implementation. Simultaneous key negotiation performance
- should be improved.
-- Cannot negotiate keys for per-socket policy.
-- Cryptic configuration syntax - blame IPsec specification too...
-- Needs more documentation.
-
-Design choice, not a bug:
-- racoon negotiate IPsec keys only. It does not negotiate policy. Policy must
- be configured into the kernel separately from racoon. If you want to
- support roaming clients, you may need to have a mechanism to put policy
- for the roaming client after phase 1 finishes.
