A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 6290 Title: A Quick Crash Detection Method for the Internet Key Exchange Protocol (IKE) Author: Y. Nir, Ed., D. Wierbowski, F. Detienne, P. Sethi Status: Standards Track Stream: IETF Date: June 2011 Mailbox: ynir@checkpoint.com, wierbows@us.ibm.com, fd@cisco.com, psethi@cisco.com Pages: 22 Characters: 48891 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-ipsecme-failure-detection-08.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6290.txt This document describes an extension to the Internet Key Exchange Protocol version 2 (IKEv2) that allows for faster detection of Security Association (SA) desynchronization using a saved token. When an IPsec tunnel between two IKEv2 peers is disconnected due to a restart of one peer, it can take as much as several minutes for the other peer to discover that the reboot has occurred, thus delaying recovery. In this text, we propose an extension to the protocol that allows for recovery immediately following the restart. [STANDARDS-TRACK] This document is a product of the IP Security Maintenance and Extensions Working Group of the IETF. This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol. STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the Internet community,and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements.
