I am reading the ssh2 internet draft..and have some question that I am not
really sure....

the protocol is divided into 3 layers.  transport, user auth. and connection.

On the transport layer, it talks about encryption. and the method includes
3des-cbc, blowfish-cbc, twofish-cbc, arcfour, idea-cbc, cast128-cbc.  Are
those the actual encryption being used on the data once the connection is
established?  or is it used for the key exchange process?

then

4.5.  Key Exchange Methods

The key exchange method specifies how one-time session keys are
generated for encryption and for authentication, and how the server
authentication is done.

I am not too sure what this one is for...

Can someone that's more familiar with the whole protocol give me a better
over view? thanks
