Re: New issue 16: No packets from other end?

 In your previous mail you wrote:

   Do you mean that lack of ESP packets would trigger an IKEv2
   informational request and lack of response to that would trigger 
   MOBIKE to change paths, or that lack of ESP packets
   would directly trigger MOBIKE to change paths?
   
=> this is exactly the kind of questions we should avoid:
the lack of ESP packets should be reported (not by MOBIKE but by
IPsec itself) to the control which can ask to MOBIKE to trigger
an IKEv2 informational request or to change paths.
The control mechanism can be inside or outside the MOBIKE tool
but should NOT be defined by MOBIKE.

As a Mobile IPv6 implementor I can say that handoff detection is not
so easy and I definitively don't want to get it in my IKE daemon code
or in MOBIKE specs. Just ask Jari...
