I think that in RFC 4308 they intentionally used names that do not  
name specific algorithms. This is for having a uniform name across  
VPN devices and to allow users with no background in cryptography  
(and those who don't read the IPsec list) to configure VPN devices  
without confusing terms.  That's why the names defined there are VPN- 
A and VPN-B.

I suggest that "Suite-B-GCM-128" goes against that.  I think better  
names would be VPN-C, VPN-D etc.

If it's really important to include the SuiteB name, I'd still go  
with SuiteB-1, SuiteB-2 etc.
