Re: anti-replay notification
Derrell,
Yes, the AH and ESP specs call for AR window size notification by
the receiver to the sender. I was addressing the more narrow question of
AR notification, in the text you explicitly cited, because the discussion
had drifted into the more general issue of "why notify at all, let's just
always do AR, and authentication, ..."
As for closing the discussion, my recollection was that Ted said he
was going to revisit the archives to resolve this, but then Dan seems to
have prempted that by reopening the discussion on the list. Certainly the
half-dozen folks who have participated in Dan's straw poll over the last 3
days have expressed an overwhelming opposition to window size notification.
But then the discussion drifted into broader suggestions of changes to more
aspects of ESP, as I detailed in a previous message. When WG chairs have
called for polls, they usually run longer than 3 days, so, I'll defer to
the WG co-chairs to decide when the question has been decided.
Steve
