In your previous mail you wrote: Good morning. Having been away from the list for a while, it's not clear to me what (if any) the consensus (and subsequent decision) is regarding inclusion of the IPv6 Flow Label field in the AH ICV. If consensus and a decision were reached, what were/are they?
=> a consensus was reached and its result announced by Stephen Kent (1- keep compatibility, 2- fix the rationale). Cf draft-ietf-ipsec-rfc2402bis-08.txt: (*) The flow label described in AHv1 was mutable, and in RFC 2460 [DH98] was potentially mutable. To retain compatibility with existing AH implementations, the flow label is not included in the ICV in AHv2.
