  Actually, we don't even need to do that. You can use ICMP ping, or 
the UDP echo service.

  I think that some gateways have not implemented all of these features, but
I think that's their problem.
  I would still like to see an "IKE ping" facility added that is valid even
without a phase 1 SA for debugging purposes.
