Sec. 2.8: "An initiator MAY send a dummy message on a newly created SA if it has no messages queued in order to assure the responder that the initiator is ready to receive messages."
A dummy (higher level protocol) message on an IPsec SA is way out of scope. Whether such messages even exist is a matter of local implementation. Or does the document refer to "dummy ESP messages" (RFC 4303, sec. 2.6)? If so, please add the reference. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/ipsecme/trac/ticket/154> ipsecme <http://tools.ietf.org/ipsecme/> Scanned by Check Point Total Security Gateway. _______________________________________________ IPsec mailing list IPsec@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipsec
