A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : Effects of ICMPv6 on IKE and IPsec Policies Author(s) : J. Arkko Filename : draft-arkko-icmpv6-ike-effects-01.txt Pages : 12 Date : 25-Jun-02 The ICMPv6 protocol provides many functions which in IPv4 were either non-existent or provided by lower layers. IPv6 architecture also makes it possible to secure all IP packets using IPsec, even ICMPv6 mes- sages. IPsec architecture has a Security Policy Database that speci- fies which traffic is protected, and how. It turns out that the speci- fication of policies in the presence of ICMPv6 traffic is hard. Sound looking policies may easily lead to loops: The establishment of secu- rity requires ICMPv6 messages which can't be sent since security hasn't been established yet. The purpose of this draft is to inform system administrators and IPsec implementors in which manner they can handle the ICMPv6 messages. Common understanding of the way that these messages are handled is also necessary for interoperability, in case vendors hardcode such rules in to products.

After logging in, type "cd internet-drafts" and then "get draft-arkko-icmpv6-ike-effects-01.txt". A list of Internet-Drafts directories can be found in http://www.ietf.org/shadow.html or ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf/1shadow-sites.txt Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail. Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-arkko-icmpv6-ike-effects-01.txt". 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.
