Subject: [IPsec] Proposed work item: Failure detection in IKEv2

From: Yaron Sheffer <[email-masked]>

This work item proposes an IKEv2 extension to allow an IKE peer to quickly and securely detect that its opposite peer has lost state. This is claimed to be quicker than the current method, which is based on time outs.

Proposed starting point: http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-nir-ike-qcd-05.txt or http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-detienne-ikev2-recovery-03.
 
Please reply to the list:
 
- If this proposal is accepted as a WG work item, are you committing to review multiple versions of the draft?
- Are you willing to contribute text to the draft?
- Would you like to co-author it?
 
Please also reply to the list if:
 
- You believe this is NOT a reasonable activity for the WG to spend time on.
 
If this is the case, please explain your position. Do not explore the fine technical details (which will change anyway, once the WG gets hold of the draft); instead explain why this is uninteresting for the WG or for the industry at large. Also, please mark the title clearly (e.g. "DES40-export in IPsec - NO!").
