Hiya,

Adrian and I wrote up [1]. How'd the WG feel about adopting
that? If you did, I'd be willing to continue editing if you
wanted. So consider this as a request that the WG take on
this work.

In case it helps, the current abstract is:

"
   This document describes a way to apply opportunistic security
   between adjacent nodes on an MPLS Label Switched Path (LSP) or
   between end points of an LSP.  It explains how keys may be agreed
   to enable encryption, and how key identifiers are exchanged in
   encrypted MPLS packets.  Finally, this document describes the
   applicability of this approach to opportunistic security in MPLS
   networks with an indication of the level of improved security as
   well as the continued vulnerabilities.

   This document does not describe security for MPLS control plane
   protocols.
"

Cheers,
S.
