Cheers, Manav


Is the phrase "implementation specific" a euphemism for non-standard?


GML> Or perhaps, a local security policy decision to ease up on the size of the enforcement window -- aka ease security requirements -- in order to get more QoS enforcement capability -- aka convenience -- ??

4301 contains We have explicit directions on how to use multiple SAs when the peers know that they want to send traffic with different QoS parameters. This appears to be an instance where the middle boxes are to examining traffic, and putting in into different QoS queues. That raises the question of how a receiver would know that this is happening, so that a bigger enforcement window is needed.

ESP and AH already allow a receiving peer to select any size window that it wants, bigger than the specified minimum. So that is not an issue.
