Re: [ippm] I-D Action: draft-ietf-ippm-capacity-protocol-04.txt

Hi IPPM,

The 04 revision of this new measurement protocol resolves the discussion on Security Modes of Operation. The draft:

+ retains the two Authentication modes and the Unauthenticated mode
+ adds a new mode for protocol-supported encryption of control/status packets
+ adds the option for users to measure within the encrypted tunnel of their choice; this provides fully-encrypted operation (including load/test packets).

We added the protocol-supported encryption to recognize that some deployments may use servers instantiated in a public cloud where communications privacy may be required. It's simply recognition that times have changed, and servers deployed in dedicated baremetal hosts are only one of the deployment options. We chose an algorithm that should be efficient for both Control and Status packets.

We also completed both technical and editorial clean-ups, and kept the IANA Registry request up to date with changes. IOW, this version is very ready for next steps.

regards,
Al and Len
