IPSec and NAT-T in eCos

- Subject: [ECOS] IPSec and NAT-T in eCos
Hello,
I'm in the process of designing an embedded network device and will be using
eCos for the first time. The device in question will sit behind a customer's
firewall and need to be remotely administered. In order to allow remote
admin through a firewall I am currently considering using IPSec, i.e. allow
the eCos application to set up an IPSec tunnel back to our firewall so it
will have a presence on our network and I can then connect to it and
administer it.
First of all, to use thus mechanism I would need the eCos app to be able to
set up an IPSec tunnel through a NAT firewall. So, does the IPSec support in
eCos handle NAT Traversal? And more generally is the IPSec support in eCos
consider a good, stable implementation in terms of interoperability?
Secondly, are there any other mechanisms I should be considering to solve
the initial requirement that people are aware of? I have also been
considering SSL VPN but to get the "network extension" that I want seems
convoluted at best.
Any ideas, or help, would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Tim Hatton
