Hi all,

We have posted -02 of the IKEv2 reliable transport draft.  The main change
is a new Section 3.7 (UDP Reachability Verification) to better handle ESP
probing when IKEv2 starts over TCP.

Abstract:

   The Internet Key Exchange protocol version 2 (IKEv2) can operate
   either over unreliable (UDP) transport or over reliable (TCP)
   transport.  If TCP is used, then IPsec tunnels created by IKEv2 also
   use TCP.  This document specifies how to decouple IKEv2 and IPsec
   transports so that IKEv2 can operate over TCP, while IPsec tunnels
   use unreliable transport.  This feature allows IKEv2 to effectively
   exchange large blobs of data (e.g., when post-quantum algorithms are
   employed) while avoiding performance problems that arise when IPsec
   uses TCP.
