Re: Remove private-use values from IKEv2




  The desire to do TLV inside the vendor ID payload is a mistake. If TLV
is desired, then I would recommend that SOI do away with vendor ID payloads
as a way to establish private use space. While the idea is sound, it is not well
understood.

  Instead adopt a number encoding scheme for *ALL* numbers like that which
Simpson did for PPP. Every number should have a potential for a vendor number
and value in it.
