Hi All:
Based on example of /etc/ipsec.d/v6neighbor-hole.conf , the traffic of "ICMPv6 Neighbor Solicitation" or "ICMPv6 Neighbor Solicitation" in encrypted.  Right ? 
So I think "leftprotoport=17/0" means all UDP traffic is NOT protected by IPSec. Right? 
But my colleague thinks "leftprotoport=17/0" as:===========================================if the protocol is UDP send it through the channelwhich means encrypt and send then other party receives and decryptsif the protocol is not UDP then cannot use the tunnelso it works as it is designed
Is it correct ???
Thanks and regards
Hao Chen
