Hi,

this version attempts to address all the open issues that were raised in the last few months. In particular, it clarifies the behavior of the IKE Message ID during failover while reducing some of the complexity. Another significant change is the semantics of the IPsec replay counter sync message.

Pleas review the document. We would like to close the issues in the next week or so, and move to WGLC. The currently open issues are here: http://tools.ietf.org/wg/ipsecme/trac/query?status=new&status=assigned&status=reopened&component=ipsecha-protocol

Thanks,
        Yaron

        Title           : Protocol Support for High Availability of IKEv2/IPsec
        Author(s)       : R. Jenwar, et al.
        Filename        : draft-ietf-ipsecme-ipsecha-protocol-03.txt

The IPsec protocol suite is widely used for business-critical network
traffic.  In order to make IPsec deployments highly available, more
scalable and failure-resistant, they are often implemented as IPsec
High Availability (HA) clusters.  However there are many issues in
IPsec HA clustering, and in particular in IKEv2 clustering.  An
earlier document, "IPsec Cluster Problem Statement", enumerates the
issues encountered in the IKEv2/IPsec HA cluster environment.  This
document attempts to resolve these issues with the least possible
change to the protocol.

This document proposes an extension to the IKEv2 protocol to solve
the main issues of "IPsec Cluster Problem Statement" in the commonly
deployed hot-standby cluster, and provides implementation advice for
other issues.  The main issues to be solved are the synchronization
of IKEv2 Message ID counters, and of IPsec Replay Counters.
