Dear all:

Sorry for the late comments.
I went through the -06 version of IKEv2 session resumption draft.
Basically, I agree with more of the content expect for the new
IKE_SESSION_RESUME exchange.

Well,  we've discussed pros and cons of IKE_SA_INIT and
IKE_SESSION_RESUME for quite a long time. However, IMHO, the consensus
is still not fully achieved on this item. So far, I still prefer to
choosing extended IKE_SA_INIT for ticket presenting. This solution can
 be found in http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-xu-ike-sa-sync-01

As a summary, the virtues are as follows:
1) RFC5077 (TLS session resumption) also uses the similar scheme,
which extends the message of clienthello with session ticket
extension. The extended IKE_SA_INIT solution has the similar way. It's
easy to extend the base IKEv2 protocol stack to support session
resumption.
2) Considering the case of failing session resumption, the extended
IKE_SA_INIT solution can save one round trip.
3) As indicated in 4.3.3 IKE_AUTH exchange, IKE_AUTH must be initiated
after IKE_SESSION_RESUME. In this sense, the extended IKE_SA_INIT way
need less code to be supported compared with IKE_SESSION_RESUME.

The down side:
1) some people thought the way of extended IKE_SA_INIT will make the
base IKEv2 protocol stack more complex. IMHO, it's implementation
specific.

Again, I still support to use extended IKE_SA_INIT for ticket
presenting instead of IKE_SESSION_RESUME.

Thanks
