[IPsec] draft-ietf-msec-ipsec-group-counter-modes-05.txt

[Brian Weis <[e-mail]>]

Greetings,

This draft was mentioned in the IPSECME session today. It describes a  
strategy for safely sharing an IPsec SA between multiple senders when  
the SA includes a block cipher counter mode. It has been suggested  
that strategy may be useful for cluster members sharing this kind of  
SA. The draft has officially ended IETF last call, but timely comments  
are still welcome.

Thanks,
Brian
