VPN bakeoff - IPComp Group Meeting minutes



In the VPN bakeoff in San Diego last Wednesday, 1-12-2000,
the Group Meeting discussed the following IPComp issues.
The next version of rfc2393bis draft will reflect the IKE attributes 
decisions.

1. IKE attributes

1.1 Lifetime

The Lifetime attribute is added to the list of supported
attributes (with Transport Mode) when IPComp association 
is negotiate via IKE. 

1.2 Attribute of other transforms in Protection Suite

In a straw vote, not even a single participant indicated
that his/her implementation sends attributes other 
than those needed for IPComp when negotiating
a Protection Suite.  Moreover, no implementation is expecting 
the IPCOMP proposal to include attributes from other transforms 
of a negotiated Protection Suite and accordingly never rejects 
an IPCOMP proposal that does not include attributes of 
the other transforms.

2. IPComp is needed in future VPN bakeoffs, 
as more interoperability tests are required for several
implementations.
