GDOI, Group Domain of Interpretation

Description Glossary RFCs Publications Obsolete RFCs

Description:

Protocol suite: TCP/IP.
Protocol type: Application layer protocol.
Base protocol: ISAKMP, Internet Security Association and Key Management Protocol.
Ports:848 (UDP).
URI:
MIME subtype:
SNMP MIBs:
Working groups:
Links: IANA: ISAKMP identifiers.

Unlike ISAKMP or IKE, the cookie pair in the GDOI header is completely determined by the GCKS. The cookie pair in the GDOI ISAKMP header identifies the Rekey SA to differentiate the secure groups managed by a GCKS. GDOI uses the cookie fields as an SPI.
