Patrick,

There is some confusion here.  RFC 2207 concerns using IPsec to protect
the data traffic, while your question is about using IPsec to protect
RSVP signaling traffic, an entirely different issue.  As Bob Lindell
has already noted, IPsec is NOT applicable to the latter, and hence
there is a separate spec pending in the IESG for Proposed Standard.
