Erick,

Probably It is like this.

The original packet is encapsulated in ESP or AH. Then need to be given a
public address to it (Need to got through Internet) and then send to the
destination peer 100.1.1.2 and gets decrypted from ESP and send to the
private address.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

So actually IPSec is doing a kind of NATing, but the data inside the
IPpacket is encrypted and also authenticated, so that
some one from out side will not alter it.

But when u do NAT, only the source address of the IP packet is changed and
sent over the internet, with out any security.

Guys pls comment.

Rajeev.

Rajeev,

I'm not a crypto guru, but will try to answer...

The traffic from/to the private networks that isn't
NAT'd will have a source/destination of that private
network. I believe the original IP packet is
encapsulated in a crypto packet, so when its decrypted
at other end it gets forwarded along using original
addresses.

Please correct me if I'm wrong...
