-------------------- Tero Kivinen (2005-10-12): https://www.machshav.com/pipermail/mobike/2005-October/001116.html 8) Perhaps the section 5.1 should say "There is no data associated with this Notify type, and the when processing Notify received from the other end the notify data MUST be ignored." Then we can later add some data there and old version will ignore it. That will allow us possibility to extend this payload later. With the current text implementations can simply fail the whole IKE SA negotiation if there is data in the this notify. (or if you consider this to be too close to the already covered no-version-numbers case, then feel free to ignore this comment) . -------------------- Jari Arkko (2005-10-19: https://www.machshav.com/pipermail/mobike/2005-October/001134.html I don't want to re-open the old issue. But this approach to specifying processing of payloads is in general what I want to see in any payload, its simply makes sense from an extensibility point of view. So I'd like to see Tero's proposal adopted. -------------------- Pasi Eronen (2005-10-20): https://www.machshav.com/pipermail/mobike/2005-October/001137.html Exactly this was proposed also earlier, during the discussion on issue 35. But this is so small change that maybe we could do it. How about replacing this text in Section 5.1 The Notify Message Type for MOBIKE_SUPPORTED is TBD-BY-IANA1. The Protocol ID and SPI Size fields are set to zero. There is no data associated with this Notify type. with this? The Notify Message Type for MOBIKE_SUPPORTED is TBD-BY-IANA1. The Protocol ID and SPI Size fields are set to zero. The notification data field MUST be left empty (zero-length) when sending, and its contents (if any) MUST be ignored when this notification is received. This allows the field to be used by future versions of this protocol. -------------------- Tero Kivinen (2005-10-20): https://www.machshav.com/pipermail/mobike/2005-October/001141.html Perfect for me. Actually I would like that to be the default case for most of the notify payloads, if we could change the IKEv2 draft I think we should put that to the generic notify payload processing, but for that I am too late... -------------------- Jari Arkko (2005-10-23): https://www.machshav.com/pipermail/mobike/2005-October/001166.html Works for me too. --------------------
