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.
