As far as I understand, Ip Port 50 and UDP 500 play a special role
Exactly - the communication goes up on port 50 with protocol 50 using udp.
???
Ipsec uses *IP protocol* number 50 (IPv6-Crypt, look at /etc/protocols) for data echange, and *UDP port* number 500 (isakmp -> /etc/services) for key exchange.
Please don't complicate matters further by confusing ports and protocols...
Just my typo. But with the complete compliance via the word "exactly" everybody? should see it as what it is : just a typo :O) Yours Michael
