The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft 'DHCPv4 Configuration of IPSEC
Tunnel Mode' <draft-ietf-ipsec-dhcp-13.txt> as a Proposed Standard.
This document is the product of the IPSEC Remote Access (IPSRA) Working
Group.  The IESG contact persons are Jeffrey Schiller and Marcus
Leech.


Technical Summary
  
   This protocol provides a mechanism for IPSEC tunnel configuration using
   the existing DHCP, IKE and IPSEC protocols.  It defines a new HTYPE
   for IPSEC virtual interfaces, and describes the steps necessary to make
   DHCP work correctly and securely for IPSEC tunnel configuration.

Working Group Summary

   The competitor to this protocol, IKECFG, has been largely dismissed by
   both the IPSEC and IPSRA working groups.  There was no significant dissent
   during the LAST CALL period.  The document outlines why it is a more
   appropriate solution than IKECFG.

Protocol Quality

   This document was reviewed by Marcus Leech.  At least two implementations
   are known to exist.
