Summary:
While editing the changes from the Firewall RTF into Core Chapter 15 I noticed a
curious thing in the Firewall RTF report. It seems that the RTF chose to re-use
a PolicyType id for a new and different policy while obsoleting a published one.
The PolicyType Id in question is 37, which used to be BIDIRECTIONAL_POLICY_TYPE
associated with the structure BiDirPolicy::BidirectionalPolicyand is now proposed to be BIDIRECTIONAL_INVOKE_POLICY associated with structure
BiDirPolicy::InvokeMode.This appears to me to be a dangerous practice, since the fact that the published
standard may have been implemented by someone using the obsolete definition.I would like to suggest that the recommendation of the Firewall RTF be modified
leaving the published policy type and policy as is with a note stating that it
is obsolete, and a new policy type id be allocated for
BIDIRECTIONAL_INVOKE_POLICY. -
