This draft is missing an important part which is the actual negotiation
of the multiple SAs. A peer willing to set these multiple SAs will have to
negotiate them anyway. Some implementations can
handle parallel CREATE_CHILD_SA others cannot and the negotiation of
multiple SAs might take a very long time, at least a time that is not
acceptable to high performance tunnels. Since these child SAs need to be
created, the one willing to the multiple SAs can simply start and stop when
the responder says stop. In terms of IKEv2 the gains are minimal. The
document may add a mechanism similar to address that:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-mglt-ipsecme-multiple-child-sa/

However, draft-ponchon-ipsecme-anti-replay-subspaces addresses all of these
issues nicely and provides a much more scalable solution. It basically
makes -IMO - both -multiple-child-sa and -multi-sa-performance obsolete.

My suggestion is that -multi-sa-performance is being moved to experimental
and almost shipped as it is so the work being achieved is documented. This
has been some interesting work, but today, I would like the group to spend
more cycles on draft-ponchon-ipsecme-anti-replay-subspaces that I consider
more promising.

Yours,
Daniel
