Detecting it is easy, sure. But I'm a bit lost on how you propose
to
'use' it. The connection is active up until the next rekey
event. If
rekey offloading is supported, then this might never involve user
space.
But if it isn't (and I can't get rekey offload to work on any
recent
kernel I tried) then how do you propose userspace obtains the rekey
counter, or the various keys used in the connection?
What about all the other state information? FT, Pre-Authentication,
etc?
Well, no, that'd only work with an open connection :)
And even that is questionable in my mind for some of the more advanced
cases.
But I'm not sure what your point is, do you still have objections to
this approach?
