I-D on SAFENeT

Hi all,
After several discussions with ADs and others, we have reached the view that MIDCOM should be the group to discuss the I-D on SAFENeT, an enterprise solution to the NAT/FW traversal problem.  Melinda has asked me to advise you that the I-D is published as <draft-stott-behave-safenet-00.txt>.

To see how SAFENeT addresses the NAT/FW traversal problem differently, let me refer you to sections of the I-D rather than rewrite them here.

Section 1.5 describes what SAFENeT is trying to accomplish.
Section 2 describes existing views/solutions of the NAT/FW traversal.
Section 3.1 gives an overview of SAFENeT.  

We believe SAFENeT could be fit within other developing architectures/protocols if that's what the group desires and it is reasonable simple, in part, because it carves out a niche in that it addresses enterprise networks and does not try to solve the general problem.

Comments are welcome.
