This document describes the reasons for the design choices in IKEv2,
the protocol described in draft-ietf-ipsec-ikev2-01.txt.  This
document describes why certain features are supported, and explains
the modifications between the second draft of IKEv2 and the first. It
describes both the changes we chose to make and the changes that we
considered but chose not to make. The changes are minor and mostly
based on feedback received from the first draft.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
		
		
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
