Correct, it’s based on IKEv1. We understand that IPSECME is focused on IKEv2, 
but were asked to make sure that the working group was not interested before 
taking another path.

The goal of the 6407 is to provide key management for IP multicast flows. The 
IKE1 protocol re-use for 6407 makes sense for the devices that supported IPsec 
protection for both unicast and multicast traffic.

Thanks.

Kathleen has agreed to AD sponsor the draft if ipsecme is not interested.
