Advising (and updating said advice as circumstances change) use-IPsec protocol designers as to when to use ESP and/or AH is something we should do. Deprecating AH seems like a nice idea, but if there's good reasons to still use it, then maybe not. In 2012 the use of manually keyed unicast SAs with group shared keys is not exactly impressive (because not scalable). We could reach consensus to ignore such usage of IPsec. Or not -- hardly a big deal if not, eh? Nico -- _______________________________________________ IPsec mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipsec
