   The MOBIKE/IKEv2 will be used along with IPsec, I do not even consider
   and option that we would create MOBIKE to be used without IPsec. Most
   of the IPsec implementations already check out the flow if ESP
   packets, and can start actions if they are missing for too long (for
   example IKEv1 you used that for crash recovery and dead peer
   detection).
   
   Why we cannot allow that same mechanism to be used in the MOBIKE? I
   don't think we want to mandate that thing, but we do want to say that
   MOBIKE implementations are allowed to consider the connection to be up
   if there is ESP packets coming from the other end.

=> I believe you missed my point: I have no concern about the mechanism
itself but I have a concern about where it is implemented and as a side
effect how it is specified.
