Section 4 of IKEv2bis states:
A minimal IPv4 responder implementation will ignore the contents of
the CP payload except to determine that it includes an
INTERNAL_IP4_ADDRESS attribute and will respond with the address and
other related attributes regardless of whether the initiator
requested them.
A minimal IPv4 initiator will generate a CP payload containing only
an INTERNAL_IP4_ADDRESS attribute and will parse the response
ignoring attributes it does not know how to use.
The terms "minimal IPv4 responder implementation" and "minimal IPv4
initiator" are confusing and misleading. This text is a restatement of
the previous paragraph.
This text should be removed or reworded to describe IPv6 implementation
behavior to the same extent. It should also be reworded to clarify what
is meant by "minimal implementation." Since responding to a config payload
is optional, a "minimal implementation" in this context must refer to an
implementation that minimally supports responding to a config payload.
The recommendation is to remove this paragraph. It adds no new
information and adds no clarify to the text in the previous paragraph.
