Hi Matthew, Please take a look at both proposals. There is no proposal to simply offer guidelines. Both of them are "new solutions" and modify the IKE exchange. One uses NOTIFY messages to indicate the new exchange and the other uses the critical bit to indicate the new exchange. I would be i

Hi everyone, [WG co-chair hat off] I believe this effort is misguided, and would be a waste of the WG time. EAP was added to IKEv2 to provide "legacy" (a.k.a. password) authentication. In the past it did not do it very well, but this is changing. We should improve the use of EAP in IKEv2, rath
