IKEv2 status

["Angelos D. Keromytis" <angelos@cs.columbia.edu>]

Folks,
as you've seen, Charlie has posted a new draft. As a result, the following
issues in the Issue Tracker (https://roundup.machshav.com/ipsec) have been
marked as closed:

 2: (Use different concatenation character)
 3: (DH group negotiation)
 4: (Remove duplicate text)
 5: (ECN text in USE_TRANSPORT_MODE)
 6: (Problems with changed encoding between IKE and IKEv2)
 8: (IPcomp editorial suggestions)
 9: (Identity protection)
 11: (Nonce length)
 12: (Payload 14 reuse from IKE)
 13: (Clarification on Reserved Exchanged Types)
 14: (Clarification on sending responses)
 15: (Clarification on retransmission text)
 17: (Traffic Selector types definition/allocation fix)
 52: (Remove group from Appendix B.5)
 53: (Key length attribute)
 54: (Two reserved ranges for NOTIFY status numbers --- why ?)
 56: (IKEv2 SCTP support)
 58: (Remove section 2.24 (ECN support))

Those that submitted the issues, please verify that they have been addressed
appropriately (we believe they have).

The remaining issues are still open:

 1: (Rekeyed SA use)
 7: (Fragmentation negotiation (before/after IPsec processing)
 10: (NAT Traversal support)
 16: (Negotiate ToS in IKEv2)
 41: (NAT traversal missing text)
 55: (ICMP fields as selectors ?)
 64: (Use the SPI of SA being rekeyed in a notify payload during rekey)
 65: (EAP)

We are working on closing some of these in the next few days (1, 10, 41, 55,
64, 65). Issues 7 and 16 require discussion along with 2401bis; if that
discussion can be concluded quickly, then any necessary changes will be added
to the IKEv2 draft; otherwise, the draft will remain as is and will be amended
by additional RFCs as needed.
