In this debate we have seen essentially four arguments: 1) insertion is bad because <appeal to authority> 2) insertion is bad because PMTUD 3) insertion is bad because IPsec AH 4) insertion is bad because other ICMP issue/hard-to-diagnose weirdness Perhaps we will agree that (1) is not an argument. My claim is that (3) is irrelevant, IPsec AH has sadly (very very sadly from my point of view) failed. The PMTUD argument would be persuasive for me if PMTUD via ICMP really worked. My experience is that there are just way many problems. PLPMTUD has been the only way I've gotten IPv6 over IPsec tunnels (where there is an MTU constriction) to work consistently, and I had argued that 2460bis should standardize this rather than PMTUD. As for point (4), I think that we have a general problem here regardless of insertion. It would be nice to come up with some solutions to the problems of insertion, noting that insertion is just something that shines light on a fundamental problem. -- Michael Richardson <mcr+IETF@sandelman.ca>, Sandelman Software Works -= IPv6 IoT consulting =-
