  In reviewing this document, IANA raised a number of questions:

  1. In the Version Number Registry, it says "Version for protocol in this document"
   for version 2. This should be replaced by what it should actually say in the registry.

  2. There are a few ranges in the proposed registries that say "2048+" for example.
  Does this mean that there are an infinite amount of numbers?

  3. There are no registration procedures defined in this document. Each registry
  needs defined registration procedures so that we know what process to follow.

  4. What is the expected load for this registry? As this is not an IETF created
  registry, we would like to anticipate the load on IANA resources.

Wes and I will work on a communication with the ISE proposing either action by the authors or an IESG note that notes the existence of IETF Standards Track solutions in this space.

I agree with Wes' suggestion of including text about the existing IPPM work.

A few comments that you can take or leave as you see fit.

- 2nd last para of section 1: is "simulates" right there?

- p7, I didn't get what this means in the last diagram on the
page: "This field MAY be used for secure environment" There
seem to be a few statements like that, and I think they're not
as clear as they could be, but it becomes clear when I read
section 3 later.

- p19, is the security for the sha-256 mode based on
sha256(secret||message)?  If so, then you are maybe vulnerable
to a hash continuation attack and might want to think about
that and/or note it in the security considerations. (I'm
not sure why you even keep that mode given that you have
HMAC.)

- I'm not sure why IANA are needed to maintain registries
for a Cisco proprietary protocol. Might be no great harm, 
but surely Cisco have sufficient self-control to prevent
collisions? (If 10,000 companies all did this it might be
a DoS on IANA but 10,000 companies don't do this so I'm
not concerned about that.)
