Hi,

the mutual attestation is done on the hosts the TNC client and TNC server
are running on, i.e. the VPN endpoints. But of course if the attestation
is successful a site-site VPN connection could be set up, connecting subnets
located behind the trusted hosts.

net1 --- trusted router 1 == VPN tunnel == trusted router 2 --- net 2
                    TNC client
TNC server

After successful mutual attestation of the routers, you won't know if the
hosts in the subnets net1 and net2 are trustworthy, though.

Cheers Andreas
