3GPP is also looking at updating its IKEv2 profile - most likely in November. I 
beleive it would be good to know about it and
eventually to position RFC4307bis toward them. So far the differences I see 
with [1] are:

Are the requirements for the 3GPP IKEv2 profile (suite) the same as the
requirements for RFC4307bis?

   - DH group 19 (256-bit random ECP group) is MUST in 3GPP instead of SHOULD 
in [1].
   - PRF_HMAC_SHA2_384; is MUST in 3GPP and is not mentionned in [1].
   - Diffie-Hellman group 20 (384-bit random ECP group) is SHOULD in 3GPP 
instead of MAY in [1].
   - DH group 2 (1024-bit MODP) is MUST NOT in 3GPP instead of SHOULD NOT in 
[1].

Does 3GPP have a rationale for their decisions?  Without a rationale, it
is a little hard to justify any decision or any change. Which is why I
have been pushing that we add a rationale as well for RFC4307bis.

For instance, why is PRF_HMAC_SHA2_384 a MUST? Isn't PRF_HMAC_SHA2_256
good enough? Same for group 19/20. I can see that since 3GPP started out
much later, they never deployed group 2, so a MUST NOT for them could
make sense, but since group 2 is too common for internet hosts doing
IKE, I can see why RFC4307bis wants to use SHOULD NOT.
