RE: [MSEC] MSEC status update

Hi,

At the San Diego meeting, OSPF guys agreed to work on OSPFv3 automated
group keying and write a requirement doc. The concluded requirements
will be feedbacked to MSEC WG. New work items may come forth. 

In fact, we are preparing that doc. After an initial analysis, it is
very possible that existing GKM protocols do not function well  to
meet all OSPFv3 requirements. This means there may be chance to extend
GKM protocols to support OSPFv3 keying, and obviously it is difficult
to finished this work before Chicago. This is my concern. 

Regards,
Liu Ya
