Subject: Re: [Mip6] Conclusion of the consensus call related to the bootstrapping I-Ds
Hi James,
Stepping back from the specifics of the documents that we have today in the
WG w.r.t bootstrapping, I believe what the WG is chartered (which needs to
be updated BTW), is to develop a solution or solutions for bootstrapping
MIP6. I think we disccovered fairly early on that one bootstrapping solution
does not fit all environments. We are now even considering adopting Vijay's
draft which specifies bootstrapping in the case of the use of the
authenication protocol. But that's not the point here.
The WG direction is to develop a set of bootstrapping solutions that can be
used in various deployment scenarios. The scenarios that we have specified
in the WG today are based on the use of IKE for bootstrapping for the cases
that we call split and integrated. The issue about whether the DHCP options
should be specified within the integrate
d scenarios document or separately
is simply a matter of how we split the
documents.
Consensus was that keeping the DHCP options is preferred because of various
reasons (as has been discussed at length).
My recommendation is that we move forward with the set of existing I-Ds
which include the problem statement, Split scenario, Integrated scenario,
and DHCPv6 options.
W.r.t what 3GPP2 really wants from the integrated scenarios I-D, I believe
they require the IKE based bootstrapping solution for MIP6 and not just the
DHCP options.
