New draft on Dead Peer Detection
Hello there,
I just wanted to direct your attention to a draft: "A Traffic-Based
Method of Detecting Dead IKE Peers". It's available at:
http://search.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-huang-dpd-00.txt
Here's the abstract:
This draft describes a method of detecting a dead IKE peer. The
method, called Dead Peer Detection (DPD) uses IPSec traffic patterns
to limit the number of IKE messages sent. DPD, like other keepalive
mechanisms, is often necessary to perform IKE peer failover, or to
reclaim lost resources.
