John,

  3.14.1 Notify Message Types
  
  
  Notification information can be error messages specifying why an SA could
  not be established.  It can also be status data that a process managing
  an SA database wishes to communicate with a peer process.  For example,
  a secure front end or security gateway may use the Notify message to syn-
  chronize SA communication.  The table below lists the Nofitication mes-
  sages and their corresponding values.  Values in the Private Use range are
  expected to be DOI-specific values.
