Then Chinna should not refer to such ad hoc mechanisms by the name of
an IETF WG, as one might well make the assumption that such diverse
practices have the status of an IETF standard. As the security
advisor to our ISP (now Genuity), I don't recall use of the phrase
AAA to refer to what we did for all these years.
So, no, I make no apologies for pointing out that the terminology
used by Chinna is inappropriate and misleading. The tenor of his
messages over the last few days has been intimidating and often
inaccurate. Are we now entering the tag team phase of this
discussion?
