Title: RE: What is the standardization status of AES in IPSec?

Additionally, some new Oakley groups should be identified at the same time. Some of those will undoubtly have to be ECDH groups in order to reasonably support 256 bit keys (anyone want to deal with 15K bit Oakley groups?)

Hello:

Can any one give me an update on the standardization status of using AES in
IPSec?

I am reading "The AES Cipher Algorithm and Its Use With IPsec"
<draft-ietf-ipsec-ciph-aes-cbc-03.txt> and read " Once NIST has published
the AES FIPS ... AES should become a default and mandatory-to-implement
cipher algorithm for IPSec".

FIPS-197 was out in Nov-2001. When an IPSec/AES RFC is expected to come out?

Thanks,
