I still don't think you have enough info on the IP gateway.
In particular - does the IP gateway pair (entry + exit) act like a NAT box, matching the source address in the source domain to the gateway address in the destination domain, or is it an one-way tunnel of unchanged bits?
In both cases - where are the IP addresses (or equivalent) carried through the tunnel? As part of the SCION address (as the presence of those forms of address in the endpoint scheme seems to indicate), or as part of the packet?
And if the addresses are mapped, who takes care of the payload modifications that any NAT needs to do?
