I finished reading over RFC 2401bis this morning. By the time Kink makes its way to the IESG, it will need to normatively reference that document instead of RFC 2401. The primary change is that several of the comments about the SPD actually apply to the PAD in the 2041bis model. There's another issue the working group needs to consider. RFC 2401bis increases the flexibility and requirements for IPsec. New requirements include the ability to have multiple SAs with the same selectors and to have port ranges in selectors. IKEv1 which Kink is based on does not support these features. I'm concerned that people will expect to be able to set up SPD entries taking advantage of such features and have them work. I'm asking the working group to seriously consider whether support for new IPsec requirements should be added to Kink. The result of this consideration needs to be either modifications to the protocol to add the necessary support or text explaining what features are not supported and why the working group has chosen not to support them. --Sam
