Hi Valery,

Thank you for the prompt answer. This is somehow what I have expected. Just 
wanted to double check. So there is at least the chance to proceed with the 
approach picked in RFC 8052. It still requires specification, but allows for 
taking the same approach. This would be important to have at least the same 
semantic of the payloads.

That already answers my question.

Best regards
Steffen

Subject: RE: [IPsec] GDOI and G-IKEv2 payloads

Hi, Steffen,

in general, G-IKEv2 is not backward compatible with GDOI (likewise IKEv2 is not 
backward compatible with IKEv1).
For this reason extensions defined for G-DOI should be redefined for G-IKEv2 
(once it becomes an RFC).
>From my reading of RFC 8052, it doesn't define new payloads for GDOI, instead 
>new ID type, Protocol ID etc.
are specified. The same approach could be used for G-IKEv2 too.

Regards,
Valery.

Hi,

I've got a question regarding the relation of G-IKEv2 and GDOI.

I realized that G-IKEv2 will be the successor of GDOI and would have a question 
regarding backward compatibility of payloads defined for GDOI. As the 
underlying exchanges for the base key management changed from IKE to IKEv2 they 
will not be backward compatible. Nevertheless, there have been enhancements of 
GDOI for protocols used in the power system domain like GOOSE and Sampled 
Values, which lead to the definition of new payloads for the ID, SA TEK and KD 
payloads to accommodate the power system protocol parameters in RFC 8052. 
Likewise, using the same approach new payloads of the same types have been 
defined to distribute parameters for PTP (Precision Time Protocol) in IEC 
62351-9.

In general, I realized that there are similar payloads available in G-IKEv2 but 
I was not quite sure, if it was a design criterion to have backward 
compatibility for extensions/enhancements defined for GDOI to be usable also in 
G-IKEv2. Could you please shed some light on this?

Best regards
Steffen
