Re: IKEv2 Correction (editorial)



I don't understand why reserved fields shouldn't be "MUST be sent
as zero". At least for implementations of this draft. There might be
a future version that uses the bits, but that spec would no longer
say "MUST be sent as zero". Instead it would say "MUST be set to the
grobnitz filter value" or whatever the reserved bits get used for.

If the spec for this version of IKE says SHOULD, doesn't that allow
a vendor to use the bits for some proprietary purpose?
