According to RFC 3554 (SCTP with IPsec):

 	IANA has assigned number 12 for ID_LIST (defined in Section 3) in the
 	"IPSEC Identification Type" registry

which matches:

http://www.iana.org/assignments/isakmp-registry/isakmp-registry.xhtml#isakmp-registry-31

But for IKEv2 we have:

http://www.iana.org/assignments/ikev2-parameters/ikev2-parameters.xhtml#ikev2-parameters-10

12 	ID_FC_NAME 	[RFC4595]  (IKEv2 values for Fibre Channel)

which on top of that is  also not a real IKE value...


I guess I'm not the first to run into this. Angelos ran into this in
2003: http://www.vpnc.org/ietf-ipsec/03.ipsec/msg01723.html

I'm not sure how one conveys ID_LIST for SCTP in IKEv2. But perhaps no
one really cared to fix this? (I don't)

I guess at this point there is nothing much to do, possible add a
warning note to the IANA registries for implementors....

I wish we could have kept these two registries more in sync.....

Paul, off to split v1 and v2 versions of this now
