AggressiveMode issue



Not to delay the documents, but I have a question about Aggressive Mode;

When the Initiator sends out the third phase 1 message, how does he know
that the responder received it so that he can start the Quick Mode
exchange?

  Initiator                 Responder
  ---------                 ---------

MainMode:
 1 HDR, SA, KE, Ni, IDii -->
 2                       <-- HDR, SA, KE, Nr, IDir, HASH_R
 3 HDR, HASH_I           -->

QuickMode:
 1 HDR*, HASH(1), SA, Ni -->
 2                       <-- HDR*, HASH(2), SA, Nr
 3 HDR*, HASH(3)         -->

The problem is that the responder might not get MM3 or that he might get
QM1 before he gets MM3.
