Every box is one UML-Host, all of them are on one physical host.

IMO it's only necessary, that 192.168.150.43 and 192.168.150.45 can
reach each other, because these are the ipsec-gateways.
For this reason i use tuntap between these two hosts.
I tried it with mcast between the ipsec-gateways too, but the same
result, the ping-request reaches the destination, but no reply.

Thats right, because of this i don't understand, why it shouldn't work.

It's only for testing, because i want to play around with ipsec and
don't have so many computers.
