Hi Jukka,
Well, I guess one of us misunderstands something, because it looks to me
like GUT doesn't work. Taking your example in section 3.3 of the draft:
We start out with a DCCP packet encapsulated in IP as:
Dest addr (DA): B
Src addr (SA): A
DCCP Ports : E and F (I assume that's what your notation means)
DCCP checksum calculated over contents of DCCP packet and IP
pseudo header with DA/SA = B/A
This packet gets GUT'd as:
DA: B
SA: A
UDP Ports: E and GUT
DCCP packet unchanged
This packet gets NAT'd as:
DA: B
SA: C
UDP Ports: P and GUT
DCCP Packet unchanged
This packet arrives at the remote host and gets un-GUT'd as:
DA: B
SA: C (!)
DCCP packet unchanged
And this packet fails DCCP checksum because the Source Address (C) is
different now than when the checksum was calculated initially (with SA =
A).
What am I missing?
