RSIP and IPsec

[Paul Hoffman <paul.hoffman@xxxxxxxx>]

Pre-DC greetings. There has been almost zero discussion of the RSIP 
protocol on this mailing list, even though much of the purpose of RSIP is 
for helping carry IPsec into and out of NATs. People should be aware of 
this so we can help advise the authors of the protocol.

The three relevant drafts are:
  draft-ietf-nat-rsip-framework-02.txt
  draft-ietf-nat-rsip-protocol-03.txt
  draft-ietf-nat-rsip-ipsec-00.txt
(As usual, the latest copies are also at the VPNC web site.)

The NAT WG is meeting on Monday from 1530-1730, which is the slot after the 
IPsec WG. The agenda for the NAT WG is at 
<http://www.ietf.org/ietf/99nov/nat-agenda-99nov.txt>.

BTW, I'm not promoting this protocol, just noting that it is being written 
to answer one of our problems and we don't seem very involved it in.
