The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Renaming Extended Sequence Number (ESN) Transform Type in the Internet Key Exchange Protocol Version 2 (IKEv2)' (draft-ietf-ipsecme-ikev2-rename-esn-04.txt) as Proposed Standard
This document is the product of the IP Security Maintenance and Extensions Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Paul Wouters and Deb Cooley. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ipsecme-ikev2-rename-esn/ Technical Summary This documents clarifies and extends the meaning of transform type 5 in IKEv2. It updates RFC 7296 by renaming the transform type 5 from "Extended Sequence Numbers (ESN)" to "Sequence Numbers (SN)". It also renames two currently defined values for this transform type: value 0 from "No Extended Sequence Numbers" to "32-bit Sequential Numbers" and value 1 from "Extended Sequence Numbers" to "Partially Transmitted 64-bit Sequential Numbers". Working Group Summary During the IETF last call of the g-ikev2 draft, there were comments about renaming IKEv2 IANA registries inside the large optional protocol. The renaming of the "Extended Sequence Numbers (ESN)" registry to "Sequence Numbers (SN)" would be better done in separate draft. There has been consensus in the WG to do this change. Document Quality As this does not change any bits on the wire, only names used in the IANA registries, all previous IPsec implementations work with this change. There might be minor user interface changes done by the implementations, and some of the implementations might want to rename their APIs or configuration files to match. Since this is just an IANA registry name change, no Yang modules are affected. Personnel The Document Shepherd for this document is Tero Kivinen. The Responsible Area Director is Deb Cooley.
