You forgot the "for IKEv1 use" in your reason why it was created. > > My personal opinion about that is that it is IEEE 802.11-2012 problem > > if they use IANA registry for some other purposes than what it is > > intended for. > I think your opinion that this is "some other purpose" is wrong. If they actually use IKEv1 and use that IANA registry to map group numbers to parameters for that use, then it is fine. If they are using it for some other purposes then I do not care, and I do not think we should care what they do for that, and we should not add stuff to our registry just because someone want some numbers there for some other reasons than for the IPsec use. There is no point of adding any new stuff to IKEv1 registries as it is OBSOLETED protocol. -- [email protected] _______________________________________________ IPsec mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipsec
