Yes, pretty clear. But after wandering through the initial (and now long) thread, I'm still not sure if a definition to "Identity" (and not only for "identity exchange", which seems to be clear) must be found. John Merrells has been asking for a consensus about the definition of "identity". Is it achieved ? BTW, should I stop babbling about that ? -- BB _______________________________________________ dix mailing list [email protected] https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dix
