Hi Yogendra,

Thank you for your comments and pointing out the lack of the IPComp
parameter.
I will update the draft including the IPComp flag , as well as the IPcomp
algo and the cpi-in/out values.

I understand when you say  the draft "SHOULD capture at least
*instance-id*or *flow-id".
*However, I'm not familiar with this definitions as IKEv2 or IPsec
standards. Please don't hesitate to address me to those documents if they
are actually standardized.

On the other hand, I could understand that those parameters you just
mention (*instance-id* and *flow-id*), might be proprietary solutions to
improve IPsec treatment among several processing units. If it is the case,
I believe that our document may introduce supplementary information in the
context prior some negotiation, but I believe we should let the whole
mailing-list discuss about this.

By now, our wish is to isolate the IKEv2 and IPsec mandatory parameters in
order to keep an IKEv2/IPsec session alive.

KR,
Daniel Palomares
