Network Requirement and Proxy Setting to run SGX SDK

[He__Yi]

Hi!

Part of the SGX aesm platform software need to talk to intel to complete its service. For example key provisioning, sgx_get_ps_cap()...

The User Reference also stated that for some functionalities, 'to run in the hardware mode, you need to access to the Internet. Configure the system network proxy settings if needed.'

I'm actually wondering what type of network configuration is needed to support the aesm platform software. For example what IP address from intel does aesm talk to, what type of network proxy is needed. Due to our firewall policy we probably couldn't give the SGX developing kit we purchased unlimited access to most of the outside IPs, could you give some details specifically on what should be opened for aesm service?

Thank you so much!
