I think we should state that IPSec is mandatory, because enterprises should have the possibility to set up IPSec site-to-site tunnels as a minimum. I think we should write it in such a way that enterprises require IPSec support when writing a request for tender, unless they consciously decide that they don't need it. So I think we should put IPSec in the 'required' section. If an enterprise knows it will not need it then they can move it to 'optional' themselves. RIPE-501 and its successor are templates to be used and adapted as necessary. We should provide a sane default, and they might (will probably?) need IPSec at some point in time. I am leaving for vacation now, so I'll eave it up to this WG to decide what to do with my input :-) Sander -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
