Thanks yet again for another review Stephen. We incorporated such things due to 
you allowing me to present to the SAAG a couple of years ago and how helpful 
people were in general. It was a good idea by Joel to get you guys to be 
involved in the design early in the process.

Less bandwidth utilization both inside of a router and on its external links.

Put the reference in on the first occurence of AEAD.

We had a lot of discussion about this. And consulted a few crypto folks. We 
wanted smaller key sizes for devices that were CPU challenged. And we wanted DH 
and ECDH for simpler implementation choices. Cipher Suite 4 with key size 3072 
with GCM was a strong comment we received.

We are experimenting to see which ones, in time, will be the most popular. So I 
would like to leave as is.

I will add the KDF to section 6 to each of the Cipher Suites and make it the 
same for now. Thanks, a good suggestion.
