Re: default life negotiation issue
Jan,
I read my note again and I realize that it is a little confusing (I ask the
same question in two different ways). Are you telling me that you assume
that an SA may just use lifesize to determine its duration? If the
initiator only proposed a lifesize, the responder would NOT assume the
lifetime default was implicitly proposed? (These two questions should have
the same answer.)

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Somewhat confused question whose answer should be
the opposite of the previous question.
