The IESG has received a request from the Transport Area Working Group (tsvwg) to consider the following document: - 'Applicability of Keying Methods for RSVP Security' <draft-ietf-tsvwg-rsvp-security-groupkeying-10.txt> as an Informational RFC The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2011-08-01. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract The Resource reSerVation Protocol (RSVP) allows hop-by-hop integrity protection of RSVP neighbors. This requires messages to be cryptographically protected using a shared secret between participating nodes. This document compares group keying for RSVP with per neighbor or per interface keying, and discusses the associated key provisioning methods as well as applicability and limitations of these approaches. The document also discusses applicability of encrypting RSVP messages. The Responsible AD notes that the IPR declaration terms seem to apply to standards-track documents, but not necessarily to an Informational document.
