ipsec tunnel with different inner and outer ip families

Hello,

 

Does linux 2.6.* support an IPSec tunnel with different family of inner
and outer addresses , like v4 in v6 or v6 in v4.

After trying ip xfrm * from user space, the utility doesn't seem to
accept two different families in a single command.

 

#ip xfrm policy add dir out src 172.168.68.1/32 dst 172.168.68.2/32 tmpl
src 2001:db8:0:242::36/128 dst 2001:db8:0:242::37/128 proto esp  mode
tunnel

Error: an inet prefix is expected rather than "2001:db8:0:242::36/128".

 

So, I tried sending a NETLINK SPD add message) from user space with,
selector as v4 addresses and tmpl as v6 address.

Policy got added but kernel doesn't seem to be interpreting the
addresses correctly.

 

src 172.16.80.1/32 dst 0.0.0.0/0

        dir out priority 1024

        tmpl    src 32.1.13.184 dst 32.1.13.184   /* I gave ipv6
addresses here*/

                proto esp spi 0x00000000 reqid 0 mode tunnel

 

Can someone help me with this?

 

Regards,

Prashant.
