[IPsec] Clarifications and Implementation Guidelines for using TCP Encapsulation in IKEv2 draft

[Valery Smyslov <[e-mail]>]

Hi,

a one and half year ago at IETF 103 in Bangkok I presented
draft-smyslov-ipsecme-tcp-guidelines
"Clarifications and Implementation Guidelines for using TCP Encapsulation in
IKEv2"
(https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-smyslov-ipsecme-tcp-guidelines/).
>From my recollection of the meeting and from minutes it was a general
feeling in the room that 
this document was useful for implementers, since it clarified some subtle
issues
that were not covered in RFC 8229. However, at that time no adoption call
was issued since this work would require to update the IPSECME charter.
It took over a year to adopt the updated charter and now the WG
is chartered for this work with this draft as a possible starting point.
The text in the charter:

	RFC8229, published in 2017, specifies how to encapsulate 
	IKEv2 and ESP traffic in TCP. Implementation experience has 
	revealed that not all situations are covered in RFC8229, and that
may 
	lead to interoperability problems or to suboptimal performance. The
WG 
	will provide a document to give implementors more guidance about how
to use 
	reliable stream transport in IKEv2 and clarify some issues that have
been 
	discovered.

However, since it was so long since the WG last discussed the draft, the
chairs asked me to 
send a message to the list to determine whether there is still an interest 
in the WG to proceed with this work with this draft as a starting point. 

Regards,
Valery.
