  A Cisco implementation? That's regrettable. Somebody must've put it
there after I left because I didn't do it. Exchange #6 is reserved for 
"ISAKMP Future Use" but a now-expired internet draft used it. The 
procedure is to use a "private use" number for drafts and if it is 
advanced it is awarded a real number by IANA. It is for this reason-- 
some drafts have problems and are never advanced so it is unwise to 
tie up magic numbers for evolutionary dinosaurs-- that these rules were 
put in place. 

  Hopefully the next exchange that is advanced will be awarded 6 and all 
those people who implemented the now-expired internet draft will be SOL.

  Dan.
