l

The proposal here (in brief) is to standardize a mechanism specified in I-D
draft-ietf-mip6-auth-protocol-00.txt for performing MIP6 registration with a
home agent. RFC3775 specifies the use of IPsec to secure the binding
update/ACK messages between the MN and HA. The auth-protocol mechanism
relies on the use of an authentication-data-suboption and does not require
the MN-HA to establish an IPsec SA.  
(For the discussion that has ensued so far, please refer to the MIP6 ML
archives)

The question to the WG is:

1. Should we standardize the authentication protocol specified in I-D
   draft-ietf-mip6-auth-protocol-00.txt as an alternative (to the
   IPSec mechanism specified in RFC3775/6) means to securing the BUs
   and BAcks between the MN and HA. Note that this solution is an
   additional mechanism for doing registration with an HA and does not
   deprecate the currently specified solution. 

   Yes	     [ ]
   No	     [ ]


The consensus call will close on October 12th, 2004.
