Folks,

Some questions.

o In a steady state, where we are using WESP only for ESP-NULL, what
should a middle box do when it sees  ESP traffic, besides
hyperventilating and throwing up? Should it run heuristics (dang! no)
or should it simply assume that the packet is encrypted and do
whatever the local policy dictates it to do for all encrypted packets?
I would guess that it'll be the latter as most middle boxes will NOT
run heuristics. Then going forward, should we recommend obsoleting the
use of NULL cipher with ESP, as thats the easiest way to get folks off
using ESP-NULL.

o Are we going to approach the other WGs to starting using WESP
wherever they propose to use ESP-NULL? Is that the plan?

Jack
