Technical Summary
This document defines a new exchange, called Intermediate Exchange,
for the Internet Key Exchange protocol Version 2 (IKEv2). This
exchange can be used for transferring large amount of data in the
process of IKEv2 Security Association (SA) establishment.
Introducing Intermediate Exchange allows re-using existing IKE
fragmentation mechanism, that helps to avoid IP fragmentation of
large IKE messages, but cannot be used in the initial IKEv2 exchange.
Working Group Summary
The document content was not particularly controversial. The only issue some had
was about creating a generic intermediate exchange, separate from the future
documents that will actually use it.
However, after all the discussion, the consensus was not rough
