+ RSVP Cryptographic Authentication --
+ Updated Message Type Value
+
+Status of this Memo
+
+ This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the
+ Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
+ improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet
+ Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state
+ and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.

+
+Abstract
+
+ This memo resolves a duplication in the assignment of RSVP Message
+ Types, by changing the Message Types assigned by RFC 2747 to
+ Challenge and Integrity Response messages.
+
+1. Introduction
+
+ RFC 2747 ("RSVP Cryptographic Authentication") [RFC2747] assigns RSVP
+ Message Type 12 to an Integrity Response message, while RFC 2961
+ ("RSVP Refresh Overhead Reduction Extensions") [RFC2961] assigns the
+ same value to a Bundle message. This memo resolves the conflict over
+ RSVP Message Type 12 by assigning a different value to the Message
+ Type of the Integrity Response Message in RFC 2747. It is believed
+ that the protocol defined by RFC 2961 entered use in the field before
+ the RFC's publication and before the conflicting Message Type was
+ noticed, and that it may be easier to install new software in
+ environments that have deployed the Integrity object than in those
+ that have deployed the refresh reduction extension.
+
+ To simplify possible interoperability problems caused by this change,
+ we also assign a new value to the Message Type of RFC 2747's
+ Challenge message, to which the Integrity Response message is a
+ reply.
+

+
+
+2. Modification
+
+ Message Types defined in the RSVP Integrity extension [RFC 2747]
+ shall be changed as follows:
+
+ o Challenge message has Message Type 25.
+ o Integrity Response message has Message Type 25+1.
+
+3. Compatibility
+
+ Two communicating nodes whose Integrity implementations are
+ conformant with this modification will interoperate, using Message
+ Type 12 for Bundle messages and Message Types 25 and 26 for the
+ Integrity handshake. A non-conformant implementation of the
+ Integrity extension will not interoperate with a conformant
+ implementation (though two non-conformant implementations can
+ interoperate as before).
+
+ There is no possibility of an Integrity handshake succeeding
+ accidentally due to this change, since both sides of the handshake
+ use the new numbers or the old numbers. Furthermore, the Integrity
+ Response message includes a 32-bit cookie that must match a cookie in
+ the Challenge message, else the challenge will fail. Finally, a
+ non-conformant implementation should never receive a Bundle message
+ that it interprets as an Integrity Response message, since RFC 2961
+ requires that Bundle messages be sent only to a Bundle-capable node.
