There are parts of the proposed draft that are generic and could be used for
RIPng as well. But there are some specific things like virtual links that are
just for OSPFv3. As this already involves more than one group (IPsec and OSPF),
I would suggest keeping it in OSPF WG so that we can focus on it and finish it
on time.

I think some vendors have already implemented the OSPFv3 security using IPsec
and we in Nokia are almost done with it too. It would be good if we could
finalize things sooner.

Mukesh
