Heartbeats draft available



Hi all,

The heartbeats draft is now available (actually it has been for some time)
at
http://search.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-krywaniuk-ipsec-heartbeats-00.t
xt.

Sorry for the late announcement. The reason for the delay is that I was
expecting it to be filed as a WG document instead of a private submission,
but apparently there was some miscommunication somewhere along the line. I
will get this sorted out later. In the meantime:

            Using Isakmp Heartbeats for Dead Peer Detection
             <draft-krywaniuk-ipsec-heartbeats-00.txt>

Abstract


   This document describes a method for sending heartbeat packets
   (sometimes called keep-alives) across an ISAKMP SA in order to detect
   when a peer has crashed or has become otherwise unreachable. A method
   for negotiating the heartbeat parameters is also provided.
