Why is this relevant? IPsec security gateway devices typically don't support 
iSCSI, iFCP or FCIP at all, and therefore won't even count towards "two 
interoperable implementations". I'd be more interested if we are talking 
about iSCSI, iFCP or FCIP products focussed on tunnel mode. However, most 
gateway products that I've seen don't support security. The HBAs and Targets 
that do support security seem more focussed on end-to-end security with 
Transport mode.
