Transport Friendly ESP BOF (tfesp)

Thursday, March 18 at 1530-1730
===============================

Chair: Steven M. Bellovin <smb@research.att.com>

DESCRIPTION:

The IPSEC protocols are very strong; however, this strength poses 
problems for other parts of the Internet. For example, many different 
people have legitimate needs to see port numbers. Network engineers 
need to understand what sorts of traffic are being carried, firewalls 
have to enforce security policies, etc. This BoF will discuss variants 
of ESP that can allow more of the packet to be exposed.

AGENDA:

10 min	Introduction, administrivia, agenda bashing
30 min	Justifications -- several short talks on why we need tf-esp
30 min	Alternatives -- reasons we don't need it, or other ways to
	accomplish the same goals
20 min	Strawman solutions
