RE: Closing out the COMPRESSION discussion

I'm not sure I understand your point, Bob.  Surely most (if not all)
dial-up users will be using PPP, which already offers compression.  What
am I missing?

	Compression is a must deliver for remote, dialup users.  These
will number
	in their thousands in the corporate arena. In fact, until IPsec
is deployed
	internally in corporations, remote systems will represent the
lion share of
	the market and the dollar volume (even with gateways costing
more than ws
	code).

	If this group does not address compression head-on, someone(s)
will do it
	and publish, at best, an informational RFC of how they did it
and vendors
	will move down that road to compete in the market. ie the market
decides.

	Get off the dime, people.  Chrysler alone currently fields 6000
notebooks
	with another 1000 on order.  We plan on putting IPsec into all
of them
	4Q97.  The vendor that delivers compression will get our
attention.  Ford,
	GM, UTA, TRW, PACCAR, John Deere, etc have similar needs.  We
will work as
	a consolidated group (to an extent of course :) to get product
that meets
	our needs.

	I welcome Bob's efforts.  It is a careful balance of
functionality and
	interoperability.  I invite him to bring his approach to round 3
or 4 of
	our testing/piloting of IPsec.  I'd rather it be an IPsec wg
methodology.

	I can dance around no compression for a little while, but I've
been
	chartered by the AIAG to deliver the goods, securely.....
