The IESG has received a request from the IP Security Maintenance and Extensions WG (ipsecme) to consider the following document: - 'Auto Discovery VPN Problem Statement and Requirements' <draft-ietf-ipsecme-ad-vpn-problem-07.txt> as 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 2013-06-21. 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 This document describes the problem of enabling a large number of systems to communicate directly using IPsec to protect the traffic between them. It then expands on the requirements, for such a solution. Manual configuration of all possible tunnels is too cumbersome in many such cases. In other cases the IP address of endpoints change or the endpoints may be behind NAT gateways, making static configuration impossible. The Auto Discovery VPN solution will address these requirements. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ipsecme-ad-vpn-problem/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ipsecme-ad-vpn-problem/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
