	Title		: Manual SA Configuration for IPv6 Link Local Messages

This  draft discusses the use of manually configured IPsec SAs to pro-
tect ICMPv6 messages such as router discovery and  address  resolution
on  the  local  link. IPsec SAs are generally identified by the triple
<SPI, destination address, protocol>. For the ICMPv6 messages  config-
uring  the SAs requires some effort, however, since there are multiple
known destination addresses plus a number of addresses that depend  on
the physical link addresses.  This draft describes the security impli-
cations of protecting or not protecting the  link  local  ICMPv6  mes-
sages,  lists  the SAs that must be configured manually, and discusses
some approaches for reducing configuration effort.

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.
