Hi, a one and half year ago at IETF 103 in Bangkok I presented draft-smyslov-ipsecme-tcp-guidelines "Clarifications and Implementation Guidelines for using TCP Encapsulation in IKEv2" (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-smyslov-ipsecme-tcp-guidelines/). >From my recollection of the meeting and from minutes it was a general feeling in the room that this document was useful for implementers, since it clarified some subtle issues that were not covered in RFC 8229. However, at that time no adoption call was issued since this work would require to update the IPSECME charter. It took over a year to adopt the updated charter and now the WG is chartered for this work with this draft as a possible starting point. The text in the charter:
RFC8229, published in 2017, specifies how to encapsulate IKEv2 and ESP traffic in TCP. Implementation experience has revealed that not all situations are covered in RFC8229, and that may lead to interoperability problems or to suboptimal performance. The WG will provide a document to give implementors more guidance about how to use reliable stream transport in IKEv2 and clarify some issues that have been discovered. However, since it was so long since the WG last discussed the draft, the chairs asked me to send a message to the list to determine whether there is still an interest in the WG to proceed with this work with this draft as a starting point. Regards, Valery. _______________________________________________ IPsec mailing list IPsec@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipsec
