RE: I-D ACTION:draft-cruickshank-ipdvb-sec-00.txt, "ULEsec"

Hi Frank,

Many thanks for your email and idea.  However let me clarify few points:

* The ipdvb security ID is focused on ULE message encryption and
optional authentication.  
* We do not address specific key management protocols  here.  However,
key management  protocols such as GDOI and GSAKMP are good candidates
although other non-IETF protocols can be used as well.
* Please in the future make specific comments on this draft such the
idea of having ULE header extensions for security, ULE MAC address
hiding using unique security ID (like the SPI in IPsec) with or without
temporary MAC address and the general requirements for ULE encryption .

Many thanks again for your comments.
