Hi Mark, 

according to
http://developer.novell.com/research/appnotes/2001/septembe/01/a0109015.htm:

--- Begin ---
The changes for the VPN 3.6 packet format over VPN 3.5 are as follows:
- IP Header: The Protocol ID in the IP Header is UDP (17) instead of SKIP
(57). This is required for translation at the NAT.
- UDP Header: A new UDP header (with source and destination port = 2010) is
inserted between the IP and SKIP headers.
- SKIP Header: The Source and Destination NSID (name space Identifier) is
now 1 instead of 0. This indicates that the IP name space is used and that
the key lookup is now based on the Master Key-ID field.

A new 32-bit field for Source and Destination Master Key-ID has been added.
This field contains bound source and destination IP addresses respectively
(and not the NATed IP address). 
--- End ---

So, the ISA server will not longer see the SKIP protocol but an UDP protcol
as 'next protocol' in the IP Header.

HTH, 
Stefaan

Hi Stefaan,

sorry to keep asking :) but what about SKIP then? 

Thanks
