Re: Comments on: draft-vlado-ipsec-keep-alive-00.txt



OK, then I stand corrected.

I was only trying to point out to Vlado that there was another draft in
progress.  I don't recall Vlado ever posting comments about the other draft,
therefore I wasn't sure he knew of its existance.

I'd rather see comments on the existing draft, rather than having 2 drafts
trying to solve the same problem.  This would surely help achieve
interoperability a lot sooner.
