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 finhises.
Bug reports should be sent to http://orange.kame.net/dev/send-pr.html.
