Hi Joe,

We are waiting for your feedback, but I just want to check we have the same
understanding and that we will have a feed back.

We would like to understand if the terminology used in the document is
aligned with the one of intarea-tunnels and if we agree that
intarea-tunnels and IPsec have different perspectives on
handling fragmentation. I do not see what we are proposing very different
from what IPsec has been doing for years.

I also think that everything is explained in the introduction (2 text
pages), so you do not have to read the full document. The document is
available here:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-liu-ipsecme-ikev2-mtu-dect/

Yours,
Daniel
