Marcel, Our plans for re-writing the ESP and AH specs will avoid the need to document the combinatorial set of transforms. Instead, it will be possible to define the algorithms or transform elements via distinct RFCs. The ESP and AH specs will be upgraded to define formats for all of the optional fields required by the different transforms. None of this avoids the complexity that comes with implementing various subsets of the transforms. However, moving transforms into separate protocols arguably does not avoid this complexity either. At the last meeting we also decided to address this problem, in part, by registering allowed combinations of transforms through the IANA (after WG approval), as a means of identifying allowed combinations. Still, the WG needs to evaluate the attractiveness of various combinations and pass judgement on them; that is the ultimate means of keeping the complexity level manageable. Steve
